Sweden Jamtland adventure (Jämtland äventyr): Looking for one of the great journeys of central Sweden? This road trip lets the visitor explore the wonderful Norrland taking in Östersund and the wonderful landscapes of medelpad and Jamtland (Jämtland) to the spectacular mountains and lakes around Åre; with a quick look at Norway (Norge).

The journey follows the Ljungan River westward to the beautiful city of Östersund on the eastern shore of Storsjön Lake. From Ostersund, the journey then follows the Indalsälven River into the mountains to the very picturesque ski resort of Åre.

Taking the road less travelled; normally the best way to experience a country, the journey backtracks to Jäpen and heads along the eastern shore of Kallsjön (Lake) which sites to the north of Åreskutan (1420m). The lake and mountain provided an extremely beautiful landscape.

The Road (336) along Kallsjön is dotted with beautiful villages like Järpbyn, Krok, Kall, Berge, Vassnå, Böle, Kallsedet,and Sundet. The spectacular scenery continues up through the mountains past Skäckerfjällens naturreservat (Skackerfjallens Nature Reserve) to Sanvika on the Norwegian border.

It is quite a thrill to head into Norway... one realises looking at a map there are many countries that make up Scandinavia, and Norway is one of them, but as an Australian from ‘almost’ to opposite side of the globe it is quite remarkable to actually driving into a country that has always seemed so far away. The wonders of travel…

Into Norway (Norge) for a quick look (a bit of a reconnaissance for a future trip) down the mountains to Verdal, spectacularly set on Trondheimsfjorden and northward to Steinkjer and Snäsa. Taking Route 74 and heading east towards the Swedish border and the alpine town of Nordi on Laksjøen and Sansdsjøen (Laksjoen and Sansdsjoen). Route 74 is also known as the Fiskevägen (Fish Road) which runs from Namsos in Norway to Krokom in Sweden. Thie drives takes in some of the most remarkable scenery.. even if you don’t fish.

Heading south east across the remote alpine marshy plains to the Norge Sverige border and continue the journey along the aptly names Fiskevagen past an almost endless chain of interconnected lakes rivers and streams. Continuing along the Fiskevägen to Krokom and then onto Ostersund.
