Vålådalsfyrkanten (5 dagar, tält) – feedback på upplägg?

[hiker002]

Hi! This is our first hike in the Jämtland Mountains, so we really appreciate feedback from those of you with experience.
Unfortunately, we don't speak Swedish, so we write in English – but we are happy to receive answers in any language 🙂

So, we're planning a 5-day trek along the Vålådalsfyrkanten in late July (taking it slower than the usual 4 days, hiking with my son).

It'll be our first time in the area, so I'd really appreciate a quick sanity check from anyone familiar with the area.

Plan:

• Wild camping throughout (as I understand, this is allowed in Sweden?)
• Carrying ~1L water per person (with a filter, assuming regular water sources)
• Resupply at STF Lunndörren (Day 2) and STF Stensdalen (Day 4)

Day 0 – Arrival

• Night train: Stockholm Central → Undersåker
• Shuttle: Undersåker → Vålådalen Mountain Station (planning to book in advance)

If we arrive early, we may start hiking the same day and camp a few km in, and if late, we'll stay the night at Vålådalen.


Day 1
Vålådalen → wild camp 2–3 km before Lunndörren

Day 2
Camp → Lunndörren (resupply) → camp ~4 km past the hut (above treeline if possible)

Day 3
Camp → towards Vålåstugan → camp before reaching the hut (near water)

Day 4
Plateau → Stensdalen (resupply) → camp after the hut (forest / near river)

Day 5
Return to Vålådalen


Questions:

• Does this pacing make sense for late July conditions?
• Any concerns about water availability along this route?
• Are the planned camping zones reasonable?

Thanks in advance!
