Vålådalen Nature Reserve

The reserve spans 1,180 square kilometers of mountain peaks, dense forests, alpine meadows, and glacial valleys in the southern part of the Åre mountains.

Established in 1988, the area features pyramidal hills formed during the final stages of the last Ice Age, marking geological transformations.

Local communities maintain traditional practices within the reserve, including reindeer herding and sustainable forestry methods passed through generations.

The Vålådalen Fjällstation serves as the main accommodation point, offering rooms, a restaurant, and basic supplies for visitors exploring the reserve.

The Vålådalsfyrkant trek presents a four-day journey through varied terrains, including the ascent of Saanta Mountain at 1,150 meters elevation.
