Jämtlandstriangeln 2025

Delayed Beginnings and Windy Trails

This August, I embarked on an adventure with my two sons, aged 13 and 14, to the Jämtlandstriangeln in Sweden, known for its stunning natural beauty and challenging trails. Our journey started a bit bumpily with a delayed train to Enafors on Saturday, a hiccup common in travel but something that only added to our anticipation. Once we arrived, we took a bus to Storulvån Fjällstation. We were greeted by the sweeping vistas of the mountains, ready for our hike to Sylarna Fjällstation.

The strong winds were a constant companion on Sunday, as we made our way through the magnificent landscapes. The boys loved the thrill of battling against the gusts, feeling the raw power of nature around us.

The Struggle to Blåhammaren

Monday brought an even breezier challenge as we hiked towards Blåhammaren Fjällstation. The wind whipped through the air with such force that setting up our tent became a mini-adventure of its own. It was a test of patience and skill, one that my sons will surely recount with laughter in years to come. But despite the struggle, the experience of overcoming such a challenge together was incredibly rewarding.

An Unexpected Turn and Rainy Respite

By Tuesday, our resilience was tested once more as we began our trek back to Storulvån. We took a slightly unintended detour and found ourselves navigating through a deeper part of the valley, learning the value of self-reliance and decision-making. The detour required us to wade through the waters of Storulvån, a surprise element that added a sense of adventure to our journey.

A Rainy Day Indoors

Afterwards, Wednesday’s rain kept us indoors, providing a much-needed period of rest and reflection. The boys and I spent the day recounting our adventures, bonding over our shared achievements and mishaps.

On Thursday, our journey came full circle. A short walk preceded our bus ride back to Enafors, and soon we were on a train, reflecting on the adventure we had from the comfort of our seats. Traveling back to Stockholm, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the experiences we’ve shared and the memories we’ve gathered together in the heart of Jämtland.
