The starting point is Sjöstugan, at 780m, by Grövelsjön. Had to wait in my car
for a rain shower to pass, until I could start walking at 9:30. It's a short walk to
this nice bridge. |
The
fact that I'm returning to Grövelsjön is due to its accessability for
me, coming from the south. But also because this is a beautiful area
with easily climbed mountains. |

Rendeer fence at almost 900m, with Sjøhøgda behind. The border to Norway is
just
a few hundred meters further. The border is closed for now, it's not
allowed to cross. But luckily, I found some older pictures from 2019,
when I was here too. |
So
I compiled the different pictures. By a coincidence, the older pictures
had exactly the same kind of weather, so it looks as if a made the
whole trip on the same day. Well, how about that... |

It's easiest to follow the main path until you reach a saddlepoint (about1060m),
the highest point between Sylen (Norway) and Grövelsjöns fjällstation (Sweden).
Here is the slope to the east, towards Sjøhøgda. |
But I climb to the west, on Salsfjellet.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Almost up, just some 200 altitude meters from the saddlepoint. This is a view to
the north. |
At the lower summit 1278m. In the north is Grøthogna 1402m. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
From the lower summit it's about 500m to the high point, 1281m. |
At the main summit 1281m. A good place for a wind shield, to sit and have some snacks in the fairly hard wind. |

Here's a look to the east. Sjøhøgda is closest, behind it Grövelsjön. Far in the distance I believe we can see Sånfjället in Härjedalen, Sweden. |
And
here is Grövelsjöns fjällstation. At the horizon is Nipfjället in the
middle. To the right of Nipflället is the sharp peak of Städjan. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
To the west, further into Norway, Goebletjahke 1288m and Digerhogna 1294m. |
After descending to the saddlepoint again, I climb 60 altitude meters to the summit of Sjøhøgda, 1121m. I don't stay here for long ... |
|
|  |  | |
| ...but continue along the ridge eastwards ... | ...until I reach the Swedish border again. | |
|  |  | |
| Some raindeers, a short bit into the Swedish side. | And Salsfjället, seen from the same spot. | |
|  | | |
| From here it's a fairly smooth, but steeper, off track descent to the main path,
leading back to Sjöstugan. | | |
