Description

Jämtlandstriangeln (The Jämtland Triangle) is one of the most classic and prominent hikes in the Swedish mountains. A hike that is easily accessible, easy to navigate and possible to do with a little packing when you hike between the three mountain lodges. "The triangle" goes between the three mountains lodges StorulvÃ¥n, Sylarna and BlÃ¥hammaren, all three maintained and operated by the Swedish Tourist Association (STF). The route is a total of 46km and easy terrain if you follow on the marked trails. Most people start at StorulvÃ¥n (since there's a road leading up to the lodge), but since the hike is a round trip, it's possible to start and end where it suits you best.

Including Storsylen: Adds a distinct summit climb in the middle, making the route a different game. To climb nearly 1000 height meters in the middle gives you both a much tougher experience and also rewarding scenery over both the mountain area in the region Jämtland - and in Norway. The summit is actually located 50 meter across the Norwegian border. This is a classical trip that has long been done.  Including the summit adds about 12km and 900m of elevation gain.

2020-09-03 myself (Jakob Källstrand) and Erik Källberg ran the variant with Jämtlandstriangeln including Storsylen, as I did with Nikita Steiner in mid-August. This time in heavy winds and we were not able to run faster than previous time and ended up with 00:10:26:46 this time. Still a beautiful day and with better views from Storsylen this time, even if the wind was according to local sometimes above 30 m/s on the summit...
