Hi
We are planning a trip to Sweden in summer 2019. We are: me, my husband and then 1.5 year old daughter and her 3 grandparents. We want to book a family cottage for 2 weeks and in the second week, me and my husband will take off for a multi-day trek.
We have ruled out Kungsleden because of crowds and climate (avoiding the north because of temperatures).
The start/end of the trail should be within 2 hours driving distance from the family cottage. A loop trail seems practical, but is not necessary.
We have narrowed it down to the Jämtland mountains, with these options:
- Jämtland triangle, with one day extra to climb Syltoppen
- Valadalen square
- Rogen area, ex. Tannsdalen to Grovelsjon
Can you give us recommendations?
- how crowded are these trails end of July/start of August?
- are we really sure to get a place to sleep at the huts or is it safer to pack a tent?
- which trail has the best scenery?
- any alternatives we haven't found yet?
- how about marshland, how wet does the ground get in this region?
There seem to be plenty of family cottages in this region, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks a lot for any input!
