The third day begins with a long descent from Helags and then settles into something quieter. The trail moves through open ground past Krustjärn, between low ridges, and eventually into the Vålådalen Nature Reserve, a landscape of heather plateau and reindeer fences where the sense of solitude is complete

The final stage is a long, gradual farewell to the mountains. The first half moves across open plateau, wide sky, soft ground, the last of the high country before everything begins to change. At one junction, keep left to stay on the main trail. Then comes a two-kilometer (1.2 mi) slope down to Skaftet

This is the most demanding day and also the most rewarding. The trail follows the curves of the Sylälven River before climbing toward a junction where you choose your route: the standard path through the pass between Kläppen and Herrklumpen or, for those with the legs and confidence, the high-alpine

The route begins in mountain birch forest and doesn't waste time opening up. Within a few kilometers you cross the suspension bridge over Lill-Ulvån and step onto the bare plateau: wide, windswept, and already pointing you toward the sharp silhouette of the Sylarna peaks on the horizon.

You set off from Finse station, one of the highest points on the Bergen Railway, where the glacier already fills the horizon and the air carries that unmistakable high-altitude clarity. The path heads west across open tundra, skirting the edge of the Finse biotope reserve with its fragile Arctic-like

The final stage brings the circle to its close, heading north through the protected landscapes of Hallingskarvet National Park before turning back toward Finse. You leave Kjeldebu in the quiet of morning, with the day's long horizon already stretching ahead.
The route passes a wild lakeside campsite in

Leaving Rembesdalseter, the route continues its arc around the glacier, now heading north into wilder and less-travelled terrain. The day begins with an immediate reward: sweeping views over Hardangerjøkulen, its white surface catching the morning light as you gain height on the first climb.

This is the full three-stage route around Hardangerjøkulen, Norway's sixth largest glacier. Starting and finishing at Finse station, the loop takes you through open Arctic tundra, past glacial lakes, and along the flanks of a vast ice sheet that dominates the horizon at every turn.

The final day begins with the quiet satisfaction of nearing the end. You leave Helberghytta and descend toward Gvepseborg, the air growing warmer as you lose altitude. Below you, the valley of Rjukan opens like a deep green fold in the land.
During the descent you can admire the last views of Gaustatoppen

Today’s stage carries a sense of quiet grandeur. You leave Kalhovd and walk toward Helberghytta, with the mighty silhouette of Gaustatoppen slowly appearing on the horizon. The landscape feels more dramatic now: still open and bare, but with a growing sense of depth as the terrain begins to descend toward

Leaving Mårbu, you follow the trail that runs parallel to the great Lake Mår. The path rises and falls gently, always keeping the water close by your side. The views here are breathtaking (wide, blue, endless) the kind of beauty that makes you slow down just to take it in.

From Rauhelleren, the route turns south toward Mårbu, tracing one of the most scenic stretches of the Hardangervidda crossing. The terrain feels wilder now, yet always inviting. You follow the path past small lakes and streams, their surfaces rippling in the wind like mirrors of sky.
It’s a long walking

This is the full four-stage route across the Jämtland mountains, one of Sweden's great classic long-distance walks. Starting from STF Storulvån Mountain Station in the west and finishing at STF Vålådalen Mountain Station in the east, the trail connects two distinct mountain worlds, the exposed, high
