Goldtour 12
start location
Anderssjöarna - round
Beautiful lakes along a hilly trail in the magnificent
Swedish mountains. All dogs must be put on lead,
you are now in the middle of a area for reindeer pasture. We recommend mountain map as a complement.
Fjällparkeringen in Tänndalen. Signposted from road 84. Drive
towards Hamra mountains (the beautiful mountain with no ski
lifts) and 250 meters west of the ski bridge you see the sign
Fjällparkeringen on the right side. This is a private road, so you
have to pay to go on the road. Follow the way up to the parking lot.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRIP
1150
Cozy and beautiful in a hilly landscape. Some times a year,
it might be mosquitoes here, so mosquito oil and extra-wide
clothes is to recommend. The last pond you pass on this
part, about 5 km, is Kringeltjärnen. A few hundred meters
after the pond, we suggest you to choose the orange marked
summer trail over Hamrafjället (the second trail you have on
the left hand). An alternative suggestion is to
choose the first path on the left hand, Räffsjöleden.

Andersborg
The tour starts at the treeline. Total climb about 300 meters,
200 is up over Hamra mountains (more options are available
below). The hikes leads mainly on dry ground, the wet parts are
often footbridged but boots or rain boots are recommended.
Walk the orange marked trail (later to become cross-marked)
which are footbridged up towards Andersborg, a little over 50
km altitude meter climb. By Andersborg, continue along the
cross marked points along the west side of Skarvarna to Svalåtjärn. This distance is about 5 km long and very beautiful.
You have Anderssjöarna on your left, Skenörsfjället straight
ahead and Skarvarna on the right. It is an easy walk but with
50 meters climb when you pass a comb from Stor-Skarven.
By the wind protection at Svalåtjärn take left by the crossroad
where several golden tours passes and continue the tour via
the trail towards Fjällnäs/Hamra. After about 2 km walk along
Skenörsfjället the trail will divide. Turn left towards Hamra.
The trail is footbridged and goes through the lakesystem.

In the valley winds Tännån, in the southeast the beautiful
Rödfjället and beyond Vättafjället the often snow-capped
