Jämtland Triangle Trail + Storsylen Ascent

This stage takes you through open countryside and gentle alpine terrain. The route starts with a short descent from Sylarna to the crossroads by the river Enan. Turn left here and head north-west, with magical views of the Sylarna massif behind you - don't forget to turn back! This is an unforgettable backdrop as you gradually make your way over rolling hills with ups and downs and open moorland.

Just after the halfway point, you'll come to Enkälen Rastskydd, a small wind shelter ideal for a quick rest or in case of bad weather. The final stretch ends with a steady ascent to Blåhammaren, which sits on a ridge with panoramic views and is one of Sweden's most spectacular mountain huts. Time to relax and recharge your batteries before the next stage of your adventure.

The final section of the Triangle is a pleasant and rewarding descent that completes the classic loop. In other words, an easy day. This stage starts high on the exposed ridge of Blåhammaren, with sweeping views, before gradually descending into the valley. The well-marked trail takes you through open alpine terrain with gentle ups and downs and a mostly downhill profile.

In the middle of the route you reach the wind shelter at Ulvåtjärn, a magically beautiful place with steep sand ridges and murmuring streams all around, where you can fill your bottle. The path then crosses a stream that you may have to wade across. Then you walk on an ancient sea bed from the last ice age. So cool!

The landscape changes from barren fjeld to grassy moorland and finally to the richer terrain of the mountain birch forest around Storulvån. You'll descend, crossing small streams and skirting wetlands, with Ulvåskaftet rising on your left. The path is not technical, but rocky and uneven in places, so good footwear is required, as is caution in wet areas. Finally, you'll arrive back at Storulvån Fjällstation, where your adventure began.

After completing the Jämtland Triangle Trail, spend one last night at the Storulvån mountain station. Depart the following morning feeling well rested and with a wealth of unforgettable memories. See you soon on the trails!
