Roadmap

Around the mountain Fjätervålen and Idreflöta trail

🎿 Fjätervålen ski resort (16 km southwest of the cabin). Roadmap. 

Winter trails: Within the nature reserve (which includes for example the mountain peak Fjätervålen 1002 m above sea level) there are two tracks that you can reach from the ski resort, Idreflöta and Fjället runt. The tracks are run with a piste machine when the snow conditions are good and the weather allows. Keep in mind that these tracks go to some parts over bare mountains and are sometimes exposed to really hard weather and cold winds. The cooling effect is high when the wind is strong. Clothes after weather! 

The trail Fjället runt is 15 km long and goes in scenic terrain over Svartfjället, down to the nice Rybäckskojan and back up to the bog again and around the southern part of the mountain Fjätervålen. The trail is in nature marked with red trail crosses.

The second track choice is the Idreflötaspåret with total length 16 km. The introduction is the same as around the mountain. Once up on Svartfjället, the Idreflötan trail follows the ridge on Svartfjället to after about 2 km fold down on the fantastically fine bog Idreflöta, north of Fjätervålen. There, the track winds its way forward, goes up a bit on Torråsen and then comes back to the track you went up on. The Idreflötan track is also cross-marked.

You can see the area and winter and summer trails marked on the Länsstyrelsens map (pdf) of Städjan-Nipfjället's nature reserve and can also see the map and read more on Fjätervålen's website (translated by google).

Ski near the peak Nipjället

🎿Startingpoint Nipstugan, at Nipfjällets winter parking, 41 km southwest of the cabin. 

Directions: Continue past Städjans car parking about 2.5 km. Turn right towards Nipfjället (signposted). Drive past Gammelsätervallen and further 1,5 km to a parking area where also Nipstugan is placed. During the winter you are not able to drive all the way up to Nipfjällets upper parking (because of the snow). The road ends during the winter at the tree limit. Roadmap. 

In the summer you can drive past the Nipstugan on the gravel road all the way to the upper Nipfjällets parking, one of Sweden's highest roads (1003 m.a.s.l.). Read more in the menu's "Summer".

Ski near the peak Städjan.

🎿 Startingpoint Grängesåsvallen, 32 km southwest of the cabin. 

Directions: Drive towards Fjätervålen. When you pass Fjätervålens ski resort - drive 10 km and turn right (signposted to Gränjesåsvallen). Drive 7 km. There are signs for parking. Roadmap. If you want to come above the tree limit faster and want to ski towards the beautiful siluett of Städjan with the sun in your face i would recommend starting at Nipfjället/Nipstugan instead.
