The via
ferrata in
Funäsdalen starts from the village, up
the steep cliffs in this picture. It ends at the top
cabin,
with a climb of
300m. |
The
trail starts behind the church. It's easy to find parking
place near by. |
Also easy to find the entrance. Climbing
equipment is needed here. It can be rented in the village. I brought my
own gear.

First
you climb about 50 altitude meters on a steep path, before
the real
climb begins. This is the first of three steep sections. It's
a bit
difficult to get a grip with the feet,
otherwise ok. |
Even if
this climb is concidered family friendly, you should
not try it if
your'e not familiar with climbing gear. There are guides in the village. |
After
each of the first two steep sections you can choose, to continue
climbing or to take a normal footpath to the top. It's a good
alternative for those who find the climbing hard.

Higher
up, you climb under the cableway. It's something
extra to look at for
those going up that way... I noticed
that when I was talking to people
up there, who had
seen me climb. |
The
final steep section reaches the top cabin. |
Going
for the final climb. As earlier, arms and hands are used a lot. It's
often difficult to find a good grip for the feet.

At the
top cabin, looking to the west towards Norway.
I needed 1h 45min up
here. |
The
high point
of the mountain is about 500m from the
cabin. It's well worth going
here. The mountain in this
picture is Ånnfjället 1301m. |
And
here is Helagsfjället 1797m, a bit to the left. That's my goal for
tomorrow. |

A Swallowtail
is flying around at the summit. Even if this
one has seen better days, it's still a nice
meeting. |
