Discover on your own

Hike up to Jalkedsåajja. Take a tour up Jalkedsåajja and enjoy the view of Krusetjärnarna, Gåsen, Härjångsåsen and Stora Härjångsstöten.

Climb the Helags summit. If the weather allows, a hike to the Helags summit (1,797 metres above sea level) is a favourite excursion. Even if the weather turns, you’ll still enjoy reaching the central plateau/bowl of the massif.

See the glacier. Head towards the Helags summit but stop at the so-called bowl. In winter, you can get a close view of the glacier, and in summer, you’ll see the glacier lakes formed by the meltwater.

Walk the pilgrim trail and see Predikstolen. Follow the trail towards Fältjägarstugan. After 6 kilometres, you’ll cross the old pilgrim path Jämt-Norway trail. Since medieval times, pilgrims have walked this route to reach Nidaros, now Trondheim. Eastward the trail leads to Ljungdalen, and westward it continues along Sylsjön, through the Skarvdörr pass and into Norway. From here you’ll have a beautiful view of the mighty mountain Predikstolen. Some even say that the name Helags mountain comes from it being called “the Holy Mountain”.
