This time I start
from Grövelsjöns mountain lodge. At about 850m in norhern
Dalarna, close to the border of Norway in the west. |
Shortly
after start, at the tree limit on 900m. The morning sun shines
on Sølen
1755m, almost 50km west inside Norway. |

Now above 1000m, The sun has reached the
closer peaks, still in Norway.
St. Lifjellet, Salshögda and Salsfjellet all reach over1200m. |
And here's the summit of Jakobsberget. It's
fairly flat and the snow is pretty hard. Easy to walk with
snowshoes. |

Impressive
snow formations at the summit, 1103m. I needed less than one
hour
up here. While I can see the beauty of all the white up here, I cant
help
wondering about the mast. What wavelengths? What effect? |
Well,
I'm here to enjoy the views. Looking to the south there is a flat high
mountain area. My original plat was to go up here and then back down
again. Now I change my mind and decide to go a bit to the south first.
This is lovely!

The summit cairn is,
in my view, nicer to look at than the mobile mast. |
36km to
the southeast is the characteristic peak of Städjan. Peter
and I climbed that one in August last summer. It was warmer then... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Closer
than that, just 6km to the east is Storvättershågna 1204m. It's the
highest
peak on the Swedish side, so far to the south. |
I
need just below one hour going south to Blåkläppen summit
1022m.
The weather is rapidly changing now, increased winds and lower clouds
moving in. I cant see Jakobshöjden any more, it's covered with clouds.
There's no point in staying too long up here so I start my descent. But
I also realize how lucky I was with the weather, As I reach the lodge,
some 30 minutes later, it's all cloudy. No peaks to be seen
anywhere. |
