Drommen, Fell in Berg Municipality, Jämtland County, Sweden
Drommen is a fell in the Oviksfjällen range in Jämtland, just south of Bydalen and east of Höglekardalen, within Bastudalens naturreservat. Its summit reaches 1,140 m above sea level. On the western side of the summit lies Dromskåran, an 800-metre-long, 150-metre-wide and 50-metre-deep ice-river canyon of the saddle-gorge type.
Dromskåran, the canyon on Drommen's western side, was cut about 8,000 years ago when water from a large ice-dammed lake broke through the thin rock pass between Drommen and Falkfångarfjället. The gorge is just over 800 m long, 150 m wide and 50 m deep, a saddle-type ice-river canyon. The fell rises to 1,140 m in the Bastudalen nature reserve, south of Bydalen and east of Höglekardalen.
Dromskåran, the canyon on Drommen's western side, is a named feature of the fell and the subject of local press coverage, including an Östersunds-Posten article from 5 October 2012 titled "Dramatiska Dromskåran eggar fantasin". Route notes and snow reports for the canyon have been published by Gräftåvallen.se and Fjällkänsla.se.
