Location

Vemdalen sits in the rolling forested highlands of Jämtland in central Sweden, well inland and far north, where the terrain rises to gentle rounded summits near the tree line. The setting is continental and snowy, with low hills rather than sharp alpine peaks.

Getting there

Moderate to reach
