Hiking description

Starting point: STF Grövelsjön Fjällstation

From Fjällstationen you follow the blue-marked nature trail up to an old Sami summer residence (see tip for detours). After the summer stay, you follow the stream up the mountain until the mast on Jakobshöjden becomes visible. Aim for the mast and make your way to the top. At the top there is a house that cannot be entered, but seek shelter from the wind behind it. From the top, you go south to connect to the cross-marked trail down towards Fjällstationen again.
