Storulvån – Family mountain adventure on your own

Trips at different levels to do on your own

Stor-Ulvån outlet (about 1.5 km return)
The shortest and easiest trip in the area. Follow the gravel road east behind the mountain station. After a short walk, an easy path takes you to Handölan. A cosy trip along Stor-Ulvån, perfect for little adventurers.

The collapsed bridge over Handölan (about 2.5 km return)
Discover what’s left of the bridge that ice swept away in December 2016. Cross the bridge by the mountain station and follow the path through the birch forest to the foundation where the bridge once stood. An easy and scenic trip across the wetlands.

Fikabordet – the fika table (about 3 km return)
A shorter trip that takes you up to the treeline, with beautiful views. Follow the summer trail across Storulvån and past the old station. Where the trail splits towards Sylarna and Blåhammaren, you find a picnic table. It’s perfect for a break with views over Getryggen and Bunnerfjällen.

The summit of Getryggen (about 7 km return)
A challenging trip with magnificent views. Follow the path behind the round house at the mountain station and make your way up towards the summit. You need good weather and plenty of energy, but the reward is fantastic!

Getporten (about 8 km return)
Drive to Snasahögarna and hike up into the valley. An incredible view over both Blåhammaren and Ånnsjön awaits you here.

Snasahögarna wind shelter (about 10 km return)

The Storulvån area is located in the southern Jämtland mountains and is a common starting point for trips towards the Syl massif, Snasahögarna and the Bunnerfjällen mountains. From here, you quickly reach the open mountain landscape and an extensive trail system for both day trips and longer hikes. The trails are clearly marked and pass through varied terrain with both open mountain plateaus and valleys.

In winter, the area is well suited for backcountry skiing and summit tours. In summer, there are many hiking options for all levels. For families with children, there are easily accessible trails nearby, as well as activities such as an obstacle course and open areas for play. In the Storulvån river, which flows below, you can take a refreshing dip.

The Mountain station is a good base for exploring the surrounding area and then returning to comfortable facilities, or as a starting point for multi-day hikes further into the mountains.

You can cancel up to 7 days before arrival. After that, no refund will be issued.
