Route Description for Storulvån-Sylarna
The hike starts behind Storulvån mountainstation. You can see Sylarna from here, it’s the biggest mountain with snow on it.
You begin to hike over a bridge and uphill through the forest for about 2 km. On the top of the hill you are guaranteed to be tired, but you will be welcomed by a bench which is a good first “change-clothes-break-bench”.
The trail continues over the hill and down to the suspension bridge where there is a wind shelter. You will walk on mires, behind brooks and over gangways until you come to an open cabin with emergency phone and Wi-Fi connection.
The last kilometers are up and down hills where you can, for the first time, see the Norway Mountains to the right. Over the last bridge you go past the second open cabin with a story board. Now you see the STF Sylarna Fjallstation and the last trail goes behind the lake to the right. In the middle of summer there is a good chance you will see reindeers - they are curious and will come really close.
You can overnight at the Mountain Station and then return the way you came the next day.
