Description
“Hiking in Jämtland ” is a comprehensive guidebook to the beautiful Jämtland mountains in Sweden. The book is written in Swedish and provides a complete overview of the trail network in western Jämtland, one of Sweden’s most popular areas for hiking.
For generations, the Jämtland Mountains have been a favorite destination among hikers. Well-known peaks such as Storulvån, Sylarna, Blåhammaren, Lunndörren, and Pyramiderna attract both beginners and experienced hikers to the area every year. Here you’ll find easily accessible cabins, well-marked trails, and a varied high-mountain landscape with wide valleys, alpine peaks, and magnificent views.
The book describes both the most classic routes, such as the Jämtland Triangle (Triangeln) and the hikes around Sylarna, as well as a number of lesser-known trails and alternative route options. You’ll find advice on the best times of year for each route, which starting and ending points are best suited for different hikes, and how to plan both day hikes and longer cabin-to-cabin hikes.
The guide is illustrated with photographs, maps, and elevation profiles that make planning easy and straightforward. The combination of practical information and local knowledge makes the book a valuable resource both before and during your trip.
