The triangle, as it is known among locals, is a true hiking classic. After a hearty buffet breakfast at Storulvån, your legs are guaranteed to be ready for hiking. The majestic silhouette of Sylarna is in view basically the whole of the first day. When you have arrived at Sylarna Mountain Station, the sauna might seem tempting. An organic and locally produced dinner is then served in the restaurant Spiseriet for those who fancy it. The journey to Blåhammaren on day two takes you through landscape that is at first rolling before finishing with a long stretch that heads gently uphill. The reward is Blåhammaren’s famous fruit soup and a bit later their equally well-renowned dinner. The journey down to Storulvån on the final day is an easy hike, with a mixture of downhill and flat stretches. At all mountain stations, you get a good night’s sleep in a double room or shared room. Restaurants have to be booked in advance.
