Hiking in Femundsmarka wilderness
From Røros to Sweden through Scandinavia's largest wilderness
New
Femundsmarka is one of Scandinavia's last great wilderness areas. Here await six days filled with silence, vast mountain plateaus, ancient pine forests and crystal-clear lakes. The journey begins in charming Røros, the UNESCO-listed mining town, before you set out hiking through a landscape where reindeer still roam freely and Sami culture is a natural part of everyday life. You hike from Norway to Grövelsjön in Sweden along well-marked trails, cross lakes by boat and stay in everything from historic mountain cabins to comfortable hotels. The terrain is varied but rarely particularly steep, making this a perfect trip for those who want to experience real wilderness without extreme elevation differences.
