VIA FERRATA – CLIMBING FOR EVERYONE A unique adrenalin rush and a fantastic adventure in the High Coast World Heritage Site. Here, everyone has the chance to experience mountain climbing under the highest level of safety. No previous climbing experience is necessary, and only normal levels of fitness are required. Steel pegs and footholds have been fixed in place where natural footholds are lacking. Several hundred very strong steel anchor points have been drilled into Skule mountain’s 250 metre high east face and 1300 metres of steel cable have then been pulled through these anchor points, which are divided into four graded routes of varying difficulty. The equipment you hire from us consists of a helmet, a harness and a Y-shaped lanyard with two karabiners suitable for use on a Via Ferrata. You climb the mountain by holding onto the steel cable. Please note, the equipment requires a minimum weight for each climber of 40 kg (6 stone 5 pound) with a maximum weight of 140 kg (22 stone). Both karabiners should remain clipped to the cable whilst climbing, except when passing past an anchor point, when you unclip and re-attach only one karabiner at a time. The routes are not designed for children so this places additional demands on accompanying adults. They should be completely confident with heights, and should look after children they accompany at all times, especially when moving karabiners. For a safe and secure climb, there is a maximum of one child per accompanying adult.

The southern entrance is without a doubt the most used. From here it is close to Skuleskogen's biggest attraction, Slåttdalsskrevan.Once at the crevice, you can take a coffee break or a dip by the idyllic Tärnättvattnen or hike up to Slåttdalsberget for one of the High Coast's most beautiful views.

This fortress is a well preserved military installation that was built by the Swedes during the Cold War era and only closed in the early 1990s. Above ground, there are lots of pieces of military weaponry - guns, tanks, etc, as well as a restaurant that is open at lunchtime. Below ground, a guided tour takes you through what could be a functioning city today, complete with a small hospital, shop, sleeping quarters, office areas, dining room and intelligence offices. It's a really cool place to visit and reminds us about the seriousness of the Cold War era and what it meant for Sweden. It's a bit out of the way, being in northern Sweden, but if you happen to be around the Härnsand area, worth a visit.

Aaaaamazing trail, beautiful nature and a great view on top the mountains. It was an adventure to climp and walk to the top and I'm happy that we did it. We would recommend it to our friends if they are visiting Sweden. It is truly worth the effort.

Well! What a beautiful spot this is for hiking. Lakes, crevices, bathing spots, amazing views and well organised spots for lighting fires and shacks for overnighting. I can understand why it is so popular. We entered at the north entrance and hiked to the Tärnättholmarna the up to Tärnättsvatten and the high coast trail back to the northern entry. We took it easy and this hike is about 3-4 hours walking but stopping and so it took approximately 6 hours.
