Destination Funäsfjällen
Rando in Tänndalen – Hamra Syd
Hamra Syd is a new kind of area without ski lifts or designated slopes. Enough trees have been cut down to give way for optimal off-pist skiing. Natural features like rocks and passages have been enhanced for maximum fun. Tänndalen keeps track of the area with avalanche reports and the area is within the responsibility of the ski patrol. The ambition is to create safe out of bounds skiing for beginners as well as those who have experience in skiing off pist.
Ski Touring or “Rando” in Funäsdalen
The trail starts in the middle of the village Funäsdalen in Destination Funäsfjällen, next to the Ski Shop Topsport and leads all the way up to the top of Mount Funäsberget. Even if it is windy, the trail is in wind-protected terrain with both flatter and steeper sections. A little further up the trail you get a fantastic view of the village Funäsdalen, the lake and surrounding mountains. Funäsdalsberget’s rando trail takes between 30 and 60 minutes depending on your pace.
Ski Touring or “Rando” in Tänndalen
The so called Randoleden in Tänndalen starts at Tänndalen Ski Lodge and lingers up over frozen mires and through the forest of birch trees shaped by the wind, up to the top giving you a startling view of the mountain range.
The Southern Åre Mountains
Ski Touring in Vålådalen
Start to the right of the children´s slope by the ski lift and ascend in the non prepared slope, alternatively follow the Interval XC track up to the top of the hill. Descend in either of the slopes during opening hours.
For backcountry skiing on Mount Ottfjället most trails are beginner friendly as long as you don´t ski all the way down to Lake Ottsjön. Talk to the staff at Vålådalen´s Mountain Station for directions.
Randonné trails in Trillevallen
There are two trails for randonné in the Trillevallen ski area: The Northern (Norra) and The Southern trail (Södra). The trails are in the outskirts of the slopes not to have skiers get in the way of each other going up/downhill. The trails are marked with red reflecting signs with a randonné pictographic image. In the map of the slopes you see the trails marked with yellow dotted lines.
The ski system is groomed from midnight til the daily opening of the ski system and during these hours it is forbidden to be within the slopes and ski lift area. The groomers even operate with a winch in some slopes. Touring is therefore only permitted on the Northern and Southern trail and in the areas outside the marked slopes and ski lift areas during the hours for grooming the ski system.
The mountain, Välliste, is a relatively safe mountain and the trails are carefully laid out to be as safe as possible. But, touring the Northern and Southern trails are done on your own risk. The trails are marked to give you the best possible conditions, but you need to come prepared.
