Vålådalen Nature Reserve
Vålådalens naturreservat
A nature reserve in a high mountain valley south of Åre, with forest streams, mountain lakes, and reindeer grazing grounds. Hiking trails start from the mountain station.
Vålådalen is about 50 km from Åre and is one of Sweden's earliest nature reserves. It covers primeval coniferous forest, alpine moorland, and river valleys, and it is home to Sami reindeer herding. The mountain station offers accommodation and a restaurant, and several day hiking routes start nearby, including the trails to the mountain lake Nulltjärn and to the Vålåstugan cabin. In winter, it is a training ground for Sweden's national cross-country ski team. The mountain birch turns golden in autumn, which is when the area is at its most beautiful.
