The Vålådalen Nature Reserve

Here is a typical snowshoe adventure in Sweden. You may start off by having breakfast at the Vålådalen mountain station where you will be assisted by a guide who will make sure that your equipment is in order before you start out. After lunch, you will head towards the pristine wilderness of the Vålådalen Nature Reserve. The reserve contains a varied landscape with mountain tops, forests and wetlands. The next few days are spent snowshoeing and exploring the amazing wilderness that can only be found there.

There are no fixed itineraries for such tours and they can be tailor-made as you wish relevant to your level of experience. The amount of distance that you will be able to cover daily depends on your experience as well as the weather and the amount of snow.

No Experience Needed

Since snowshoeing is an easy sport to learn, prior experience is not required. In fact, once you try it, you will find that it is extremely easy to move around on snowshoes.

However, you should be physically fit as you may be carrying a backpack with your belongings. If this is not feasible, you can rent a sled in which you can keep your belongings and pull them along.

Snowshoeing is a winter sport that is easy to learn and a sport that you will most likely come to love and return to year after year.
