The Swedish mountains is fantastic, and one of the gems will of course be one, but lets start with a option in the low land. As I am from Värmland, I will give you a nice suggestion. The Glaskogen reservation between Årjäng and Arvika. This is a unknown gem that no so many knows. To do a long weekend tour her during the winter is fantastic. And for beginners the area is perfect preparation for a tough mountain tour. With 300km trails you will find a nice one…

Why don’t you start from Finntorp towards Lenungshammar. It is about 16km and a good start…There is a lot of wind shelter you csan use.

The second one will be the Sonfjället at Hedeviken. This is the reservation were the bear lives. This is one of the area with most bears in Sweden. My suggestion here will be to stay at Nysätern and hike to the Sodo dalen. From there it is only 2km to the top of Sonfjaället.  Stay at the windshelter eat something and leave some equipment for the peak-tour. 18km round trip. Winter or summer. You will have a wonderful view of the whole Jämtlands mountains, Funäsdalen at west and Lunndörrsfjällen and the whole way to Oviksfjällen. You will not regret that, I di promise…

This week Inhave been testing one of the Power bank from last weeks blog, the Lippa Solcelle Power bank 20.000mAh. And what will be my result? Well, it is a real good charger. With 45% and I put it into the charger and 30 minutes later it was 76%. So it is good.

This is a equipment for long tours. The weight of 410g is to heavy for shorter tours, but I will for sure bring it with me on long tours. A inbuilt led lamp is also very useful. With the price of 45,46 Euro 8 499:-) you got a real good friend for a good price. So the judge? NNNN. The reason for not getting 5 N:s is the weight…But with solar cells and the power of being able to chare 8st iPhone’s of a fully charge Power bank is great, that for sure…
