Travel information
Renovation work is ongoing at Blåhammaren – thank you for your understanding!

This summer marks the start of a long-awaited renovation of the main building at Blåhammaren. We’re replacing the exterior panel and laying a new roof – important steps to preserve the mountain station for future generations. Later in the autumn and winter, we’ll continue with improvements to the interior: the entrance, reception, guest kitchen, and shop are all getting an upgrade. But don’t worry, our beautiful dining room will remain just as it is and will stay open to all guests.

Construction work will be ongoing during the summer, but we’re doing our best to minimise any disturbance so you can still enjoy the tranquillity of the mountains and the magic of Blåhammaren.

Thank you for your understanding – and a warm welcome! 💚

Sustainability

  • Sustainability pledge

    Sustainability pledge

    The accommodation has taken the STF Sustainability pledge on working sustainably in their daily operations and involve you as a guest.

Read more about our sustainability work

We have made a commitment to sustainability with STF's Sustainability Pledge, and we are Green Key certified. The accommodation is heated with environmentally certified electricity, labeled with “Bra Miljöval,” meaning it comes from wind and hydro power. We are aware that we are in a sensitive environment deep in the mountains and therefore use as few chemicals as possible for laundry and cleaning. The chemicals we use are eco-labeled (and local – believe it or not!).

How can you, as a guest, help us?

One of our biggest challenges is waste. We're delighted that more people want to explore the mountains, but the trash bags are getting heavier, and transportation takes a toll on our environment. Therefore, the best thing you as a guest can do is carry your trash down from the mountain yourself.

We have waste sorting stations for you to sort your waste. Please avoid washing under running water, airing, and turning on the heaters simultaneously, conserve water, and bring your own sleeping bag liner and towel.

It is only together with you as our guest that we at STF Blåhammaren can achieve our goals of long-term sustainable tourism. Thank you for your participation, and please feel free to suggest ways we can improve our environmental efforts!

Tips for hiking

Jämtland triangle

The well-known and beloved Jämtland Triangle is suitable for both beginners and experienced hikers.

Sylarna Circuit

This hike offers fantastic experiences around Sylarna. The round trip goes over rolling barren mountains, with the dramatic peaks and glaciers of Sylarna constantly in sight.

Hiking trails in Sweden

The amazing thing about hiking in Sweden is that there is always more to discover. You can hike on remote mountain peaks, along rugged coastlines, beside bright yellow rapeseed fields, or near major cities.
