Jämtlandstriangeln

Jämtlandstriangeln — the trail guide

The Jämtlandstriangeln is a 45.9 km trek in Sweden, typically walked in 3 days, with 893 m of total ascent. It rates Moderate on our published rubric (19 m of gain per km, topping out at 1076 m).

It links three STF mountain stations — Storulvån, Sylarna and Blåhammaren — set a comfortable day apart, so most walkers do it in three days without a tent. The marked paths cross birch forest, boggy plateau on boardwalk and bare alpine tundra beneath the glaciated Sylarna massif. Storulvån, reached by road from Enafors, is the usual start and finish.
