I take a trip to the north,
while there is still some snow left
on the mountains. The area around Grövelsjön is beautiful and I gladly
return there. This time the target is Lövåsen,
where there is a large parking place at around 800m
altitude. This is just above that parking place. |
From
here a trail leads to the lakes Fosksjöarna. Following
it I
soon reach the tree limit. In the background is Östra
Barfredhågna. |
But
first I will climb Västra Barfredhågna. It's a bit further
out. The trail leads through a saddlpoint between the two peaks. From there you
have to go off track to the summits.

| There are reindeers up here, but they never
get close. The mountains behind are on the Norwegian side. |
Almost
at the saddlepoint between the two peaks, now
above 900m. Here I leave the trail and go for the summit. It's easy to walk
here. |
It
doesn't take long to climb the final altitude meters to the summit. But
the views are spectacular! Here you can see Sølen
1755m on the Norwegian side.

| The
summit cairn on Västra Barfredhågna, 1010m. This picture is to
the northwest, towards Norway. |
To the northeast
is Storvättershågna 1204m, Dalarnas and Svealands highest
summit. |
To
the southeast, Nipfjället east of Idre. |

|
|
Even
though it's just 1,5km to the summit of Östra Barfredhågna,
it takes about half an hour to get there.
This whole trip is around 300
altitude meters and 7km to
walk. It's an easy trek that almost anyone
can do, and with good possibilities to combine differently.. |
The reward is great when you get
up here. This
snowcovered peak, far up north and clearly higher,
should be on the Norwegian side. To the right and
closer, Fosksjökläpparna that I climbed last year. |

in Sølen.
