Hiking to waterfalls in Vemdalen

One of the most popular hikes in Vemdalen is “Find Five Falls”. Visiting waterfalls on a hike in the mountains is always a treat, especially for young adventurers on the hunt for discovery.

The Fettjeåfallet is a spectacular experience with a drop of 70 meters. There's shelter from the wind and a barbecue area. The hiking trail to Fettjeåfallet is only 4 km long, and it's also possible to hike to the top of the mountain for those who dare.

Fallmoranfallen consists of two waterfalls, perfect for a snack. With three different routes of 4 km, 7.5 km and 11 km, it's also easy for families with children to visit the waterfalls.

Rändåfallet also offers something incredible, with several larger and smaller waterfalls. It's a short walk from the parking lot, making it easy for children to join the hike in the beautiful Vemdalen nature. One kilometer of large and small waterfalls offers a very special experience for anyone who enjoys hiking in Sweden.

On warm days, Mittåfallet is a nice place to visit, and only 150 meters from the parking lot. A bit further to travel, but still something very special. This is actually two waterfalls with a lagoon in between, which is very popular for those who want a little swim before returning home.

Be careful when hiking in the mountains

It's important to think about public rights of way and mountain safety when hiking in the mountains.

It is important that we make a joint effort to preserve our beautiful mountain environment, so that everyone can experience the opportunities that exist when hiking in Vemdalen.

Our top five tips for mountain hiking

  1. Plan your hike: Find out as much as you can about the trail you want to hike - how long it is, what the terrain looks like, whether it passes places to eat or shop on the way. The more you know about the trail, the better you can prepare and pack for your hike.
  2. Have the right equipment: The equipment you need depends on the type of hike you're planning to do, but you can never go wrong with a pair of proper hiking boots, windproof and waterproof clothing, as well as a backpack with water and something edible.
  3. Dress for unexpected weather: The weather can change quickly when hiking in the mountains, so always pack windproof and waterproof clothing, even if the sun is shining when you're about to set off.
  4. Adjust your speed: Take it easy and adapt your speed to the terrain and your physical ability. Take regular breaks to rest and don't forget to enjoy the views along the hiking trail.
  5. Respect the nature: Show consideration for the environment and wildlife by leaving minimal trails behind you.
