Designed for the fit and adventurous, this longer version of the Jämtland Triangle trail offers a combination of comfort and the thrill of high-altitude trekking.
The second stage of the trek includes an extra night at Sylarna Mountain Station, giving you an additional day to climb Storsylen (1,762 metres). This trek offers spectacular views of Norway and the Jämtland mountains, especially the Sylarna Glacier. Reaching the summit makes this beautiful trek even more rewarding.

Make your way to Storulvån mountain station, where you will spend the night before setting off on your trek. Settle in, enjoy your surroundings, and prepare for your adventure in Jämtland.
The first leg of the Jämtlandstriangeln starts at Storulvån mountain station and heads south, gently into Sweden's alpine wilderness. With a few exceptions, the trail climbs gently all the way. The first few kilometres are through mountain birch forest. You then cross the calm waters of Lake Lillulvån over a suspension bridge and continue above the tree line.
The trail winds through rolling countryside on wide, well-marked paths with panoramic views of the Sylarna massif, whose famous silhouette is visible all day. After a few more kilometres you come to the wind shelter at Spåjme, a good place to stop if the weather is bad. Water can be drawn from streams along the way.
Again, towards the end of the walk, you'll come to a charming bridge over the River Enan - the perfect place to stop for a picnic or even a refreshing dip. Just 2.5km before you reach Sylarna, you'll pass the Gamla Sylen rest area, where you'll find a shelter with an oven, emergency phone, water and toilets. Once in your hut, it is time to rest up for tomorrow's adventure!
This out-and-back hike from Sylarna Mountain Station to the 1,762-metre summit of Storsylen offers a true alpine adventure and is a highlight of the extended Jämtland Triangle. This challenging yet rewarding route takes you to the highest peak in the Syl massif, crossing the Swedish–Norwegian border along the way.
Starting with a steady ascent through open terrain, the trail provides early glimpses of the Sylarna Glacier and the surrounding peaks. As you climb higher, the path becomes rockier and passes notable landmarks such as Pyramiden and Mellantoppen. The final stretch involves some scrambling over loose rock and boulders, so sturdy footwear and surefootedness are essential. This hike is best suited to fit hikers who are comfortable navigating alpine terrain.
Reaching the summit rewards you with breathtaking 360° vistas of the Jämtland mountains and the vast Lake Nesjøen in Norway. Interestingly, the summit of Storsylen is located just a few hundred metres within Norwegian territory.
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!
