January, the first month of the year. With the right focus and well-thought-out planning, this is the foundation for a good adventure year. So why don’t kick start with a Winter tour towards the High Coast and the Skuleskogens national park. And why not sleeping under the open sky.

The adventure started this time at the Western entry. The plan was to hike towards Ternettvattnet, a hike about 7-8km. We brought snowshoes, but they where not necessary, it was not that much snow. The sun rise during the hike and it was really nice. The terrain in the national park is really nice, and it is easy to enjoy the hike. We was hoping to get the opportunity to experience Nordic Light, but the sky was unfortunately grey and cloudy.  The night was really nice with the sound of the ice growing in the background. Using the wind shelter for eating breakfast make it all more cozy. And then the second days hike begun. Started up early in the light of the head lamps. Passing the Slottdalsskrevan in darkness was a unforgettable event. After a bit of uphill’s after Slottsdalen we got the sunset, and as John Muir quoted; How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains. After a short stop at the wind shelter at Aborrskratttjärn  we went back to the starting point… Summarizing it has been a really nice adventure from start to the end.
