Summer i Bruksvallarna

Even during summer Bruksvallarna can offer a wide range of outdoor activities with endless hiking trails in an untouched environment, fields of wild orchids and large fishing waters. You will also find a variety of wild animals such as Musk oxen, bear and wolves. In the surrounding area are two “Same”-villages, Mittådalen and Ruvhtensijte and many mountain pastures that are still in use. There are plenty of charted hiking routes with cultural signs enabling the hiker to find his own way around.

Hiking
Around Bruksvallarn you will find endless hiking trails for all types of hikers. There are also cabins and places to eat along the routes. Mittåkläppen and Kariknallen are perfect destinations for those who wish to make shorter hikes, ending off the treck with a freshly baked waffle. The sitlift at Ramundberget is open all summer and enables you to easily reach the higher plateaus with Össjöstugan (4km) or Fjällnäs (2,3 miles) as your final destination. Mittåkläppen and Hamrafjällen are Swedens finest fields when in bloom with numerous wild orchids. A visit to this area during Midsummer is highly recommended. Children will enjoy Rogens Nature reserve where there currently are 7 Musk oxen. More information on shorter or longer hiking trips can be found in folders at Fjälltunets cottages.
