Vandringsled Gräftåvallen-Höglekardalen

Proposal for a two-day hiking tour. It is 17 km one way and goes mostly over bare mountains. About halfway is Falkfångarfjället's wind shelter where it is good to have a coffee or lunch. Between Höglekardalen and the wind shelter, the path runs along the stream and there is drinking water here. Between Falkfångarfjället's windbreak and Gräftåvallen there is another windbreak, Tvärån, just below the river flows with mountain water and the opportunity to cool your feet.

Another suggestion for a three-day hiking trip with two overnight stays. You choose where you start and finish. The hike between Gräftåvallen and Arådalen is 21 km and goes mostly over the bare mountain. From Arådalen to Höglekardalen it is 19 km of mixed bare mountain and mountain forest hiking with a windbreak along the way. Keep an eye on the trail markings as the summer and winter trails differ from each other. From Höglekardalen to Gräftåvallen it is 17 km and along the trail there are two shelters to rest at.

There is accommodation to book in Arådalen, Höglekardalen and Gräftåvallen.

The mountains are a cultural landscape and reindeer herding takes place in several places. This is also the case in Berg municipality. The Tåssåsens sameby operates here with around 50 members and around 9,000 reindeer in the summer herd. Visitor pressure in the mountains is increasing and with it the risk of impact on reindeer husbandry. It is important that you, as a mountain visitor, show consideration and know how to act where reindeer herding is carried out.

Keep this in mind when you are in the mountains:

• Always leave the reindeer alone. If you come across reindeer, take a wide detour around or sit down quietly and wait for them to pass.
• Keep your dog on a leash where there are reindeer. A loose dog can cause great disturbance and harm to the reindeer and reindeer herding work.
• Follow marked trails.
• Avoid disturbing reindeer at snow camps, they stay there to protect themselves from heat and troublesome insects.
• Avoid camping in lush valleys.
• Cycle on roads and trails intended for cycling.
• At hållbarafjäll.nu you can keep up to date on where you can stay without disturbing, both during calving and calf marking (April 20-July 20) and during moose hunting and the reindeer's rutting period (September 1-October 25).
