The Falkfångar trip (30km)
I'm spending the Easter in the beautiful mountains surrounding Höglekardalen, Åre county, in Sweden. I'm visiting the family of my girlfriend and the Falkfångar trip is a yearly family excursion with long traditions. The trip is about 30km long in hilly terrain, allowing for some spectacular views. Starting with a steep ascent to the top of the mountain, then following the ridge to later descend down to a popular ice fishing lake named Dörrsjöarna; before a long and tidious ascent up the other side of the mountain to Visjöen, and from there it's about 7km back to their cabin following the scooter tracks. A bit of a circle, see map below.
