A visit to Sweden wouldn’t be complete without at least seeing (or perhaps eating) a reindeer, the subject of every child’s Christmas dream and the quintessential ‘Northern’ beast. There was no way I was going to take the easy way out, having come this far I refused to visit theme parks, petting zoos are worse still, introduce myself awkwardly to an air-tight plastic pack at the supermarke...

thank you
Hej!, Thanks so much for you diary - I have loved reading your description of Sylarna and the characteristics of the Swedish Fjälls. You couldn't have done a better job at detailing the mozzie experience and the beauty that is Jämtland. I moved here a year ago and have loved the nature and the geography of Jämtland....not to mention the skiing and biking and swimmiing in lakes, the long daylight and the old lady bikes. We are heading to Sylarna this weekend to squeeze in the last of the skiing for season 08/09. We were in there for mid sommer 2 weekends ago, but we were hit with the torrential rains and winds - we did have enough reading, sill, potatos and aquavit to get us through the 48 hours of tent ridden bliss - we ended up leaving our skis at the station. After carrying them in and taking us all of 7 hours to get there - there was no question that we should leave them ......our packs were 28 kg each on the walk in - a nice 13kg on the way back.....it only took 4 hrs to get back to Storuvåln. So we are off this Friday night after work - the forecast is for sun and 17 deg both days. Can't wait to see how its changed over the last week.....we have had tropical weather in the high 20's and lots of thunderous rain! Thanks again, and wishing you guys happy wandering and camping as long as your legs will carry you! Liss and Pär Åre Sweden
