Sylarna - Blåhammaren

You can glimpse Blåhammaren far away on the horizon as you start the trek from Sylarna, and the way to your destination passes through a rolling landscape. After you have left the part of the Jämtland mountains and Syl massif that has a clearly Alpine character, the route continues through rolling terrain across low hills.

The tour begins with a roughly 3 kilometer downhill stretch that you previously walked in the opposite direction. The trail soon splits, and here you choose to follow the western route, well-marked toward STF Blåhammaren. Afterward, a section awaits that takes you up and down hills through varied and at times rocky terrain.

In the final kilometers, you’ll face a long hill that takes you up the last stretch. But once you arrive, your reward awaits – a magnificent panoramic view of the mountain landscape. Blåhammaren is one of STF’s highest mountain stations.

This section can be quite exposed to the wind. About 4 km south of Blåhammaren, you may need to wade when water levels are high.
