We have devised a couple of day and multi-day hikes that we recommend for your first mountain hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are several perfect simple day hikes that start from the road\u2019s end at Gr\u00f6velsj\u00f6n Mountain Station. The hike to Silverfallet starts with crossing the suspension bridge over the Gr\u00f6vl\u00e5n River, and then continuing along the trail marked Silverfallet. The hike covers 7 km in total, and follows a trail marked with red winter trail crosses. You walk surrounded by mountain forest, with a little marshland, but also hike a little way up into the alpine zone. After around 3 km you arrive at the small Silverfallet waterfall, which is a perfect spot for a picnic at the Ol\u00e5n shelter. There\u2019s also a fireplace for a barbecue, but make sure you take your own kindling. When you\u2019re here, the Norwegian border is just a stone\u2019s throw away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hike length<\/strong> Accommodation in Gr\u00f6velsj\u00f6n<\/strong> A day hike over easy peaks starts at STF Gr\u00f6velsj\u00f6ns Fj\u00e4llstation. Follow the blue-marked path towards H\u00e4vlingen. You\u2019ll pass an old Sami summer camp, then follow the stream towards the peak. Eventually, you\u2019ll see the mast, which you can aim for. And you\u2019ll soon be at Jakobsh\u00f6jden. This is an easy 7 km hike, but be prepared for a fair bit of stone along the path in places. Once you\u2019re up on the peak, you\u2019ll find a shelter. This is locked, but it still provides good shelter for a tea break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hike length<\/strong> Accommodation in Gr\u00f6velsj\u00f6n<\/strong> A multi-day hike that takes you to Lake H\u00e4vlingen where there are huts you can stay in. This is a place known for its fantastic nature, its views and above all its fishing. From STF Gr\u00f6velsj\u00f6n Mountain Station you hike north for 13 km over the mountain, starting out by following the blue-marked path towards H\u00e4vlingen. You pass Jakobsh\u00f6jden on the route, and it\u2019s well worth taking a short detour to reach the top. Once you reach Lake H\u00e4vlingen and the mountain huts, you\u2019ll also find a warming sauna and the opportunity for a rather chillier swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hike length<\/strong> Accommodation in Gr\u00f6velsj\u00f6n<\/strong> Accommodation during the hike<\/strong> Shops during the hike<\/strong> Map<\/strong> Getting there<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n A pleasant hike in Gr\u00f6velsj\u00f6fj\u00e4llen which can be divided into two or three day stages. You set off for Sylen, which is at the north end of Lake Gr\u00f6velsj\u00f6n. In Sylen there is limited accommodation which must be pre-booked. Alternatively, you can take a boat and start hiking straight for H\u00e4vlingen. If you choose to hike the whole way, the trail runs to the west of the lake up towards Salsfjellet, and then town to Sylen. From Sylen the summer trail goes east, first a little way surrounded by forest then through the alpine zone almost all the way to the fishing camp at H\u00e4vlingen. On the way you pass Lake Gr\u00f6tvallsj\u00f6n, where there is a reindeer separation enclosure. It\u2019s recommended that you book accommodation at H\u00e4vlingen in advance. Boats and canoes are available to hire.
