Route Description for Hållvallens chalet – Ottsjö
You start this hike at the Ica Ottsjobua. The first kilometers are on “Buföringsleden”, a gravelled road behind the majestic mountain.
You can choose between continuing on “Buföringsleden” or take a left to “Norrbotten” which is going to take you down to the lake beaches and then back to the parking lot. That road is 6.0 km longer but wonderful and well worth the detour on a day with nice weather.
Our map shows us following the track “Buföringsleden”, which goes down to the forest, over brooks always watching for moose that love to be in this area. Moose are typically really calm, though during mating season they can be aggressive and dangerous. Keep a good distance away from the moose and let them stay wild.
Continue on the forest road with mountain views until you reach Hållvallens open chalet.
Return the way you came and watch for the story boards with the history of the village “Ottsjö”, which are along the side of the road.
