Today was the last day of the Easter break, and I was determined to squeeze in a ski tour before packing the car for the journey home. It had been snowing for a whole day, but now the sun was shining brightly, so I strapped on my skins and started making my way up Englandsbacken.

The first autumn break in Åre got off to a great start! While Molly was training the dogs with a friend in Järpen, Vera, Bosse, and I headed up the slopes of Tegefjäll and made our way to Tyskhuvudet. It was a short but incredibly beautiful hike, about 7 km round-trip.

The family’s first hike together in the mountains went pretty well. We headed straight out the door in Tegefjäll and made our way up Mullfjället. To avoid the climb through the slopes in Duved, we took a shortcut up via Englandsbacken.

Today was Vera’s first mountain hike, and to keep things simple, we started with Mullfjället, just around the corner from our apartment in Tegefjäll.
