With Vålådalen Mountain Station as your starting point, one of Sweden’s most accessible and varied mountain areas awaits you. Here you will find everything from short family-friendly tours to full-day adventures over bare mountains, through mountain birch forests and along sparkling mountain lakes. Whatever your experience, there’s a trail to suit you.
Blanktjärnarna – a colorful classic
One of the area’s most beloved hikes goes to Blanktjärnarna. The path winds through mountain forest and over footbridges before the famous lakes appear. The crystal clear waters change in shades of turquoise green, creating an almost fairytale-like setting. The tour is suitable for most people and is a perfect choice for those who want to experience the magic of the mountains without too long a hike.
Ottfjället – vast views and a genuine mountain feeling
For those who want to go up to the bare mountain, Ottfjället is an obvious destination. The hike offers a steady climb, but the reward comes quickly in the form of magnificent views of Vålådalen, Lunndörrsfjällen and the surrounding mountain massifs. On clear days, the view feels almost endless.
Lunndörren –
the gateway to the mountains
Lunndörren is usually described as one of Jämtland’s most impressive mountain passages. The hike takes you through a dramatic landscape where high mountainsides rise on both sides of the trail. Here you get to experience the classic mountain world with open spaces, rippling streams and a feeling of being far from the noise of everyday life.
Vålån and the mountain forests
– close to nature
Not all walks need to be long to be memorable. Along the Vålån river there are several shorter trails that are suitable for families or those who want to take a quiet walk. Here you will encounter rushing water, old mountain birches and a rich plant and animal life. Perfect for a relaxing walk on a summer day or a quiet evening stroll.
The shortcut to the mountain feeling
If you only have a few hours at your disposal, there are several shorter tours directly from the mountain station. In a short time you can reach open moors, viewpoints and mountain environments that give a taste of the great adventure. Bring your coffee thermos and find your own favorite spot overlooking the mountains.
