Arådalen, Nature reserve in Berg Municipality, Sweden

Arådalen is a nature reserve in Berg Municipality comprising mountains, forests, and upland areas with peaks such as Hundshögen and Hästryggen. The landscape features a mix of open mountain pastures and forested sections at varying elevations.

From at least 1666 the farmers of Oviken held Arådalen as outland pasture, and a 1762 map records about 360 cattle summering in the valley. They kept fäbod summer farms here for grazing, marsh hay, cloudberry picking, hunting and fishing. The road into the valley was only built in 1958–1961; before that there was no road connection.

Local farmers from nearby villages continue grazing their animals in the area, maintaining agricultural practices that have shaped the landscape for centuries. This traditional land use remains visible in how the terrain is managed today.

Visitors should respect sensitive areas, including keeping distance from raptor nests and avoiding disturbance to plants and dead wood. Those exploring the area can find a mountain cabin offering basic overnight accommodations.

The first small tourist building went up in 1895; the present STF station dates from 1909 and opens only in summer. The land belongs to the Church of Sweden, which also owns the 1970s chapel beside the dammed Angelika lake, named for the angelica growing around it.
