Hiking tips
Grövelsjöfjällen and surrounding hiking areas such as Femundsmarka and Rogen are known for their inviting hiking on both marked and unmarked trails. The Grövelsjö area in particular is popular due to its accessibility and the possibility of accommodation and food. Here Storsätra Fjällhotell continuously presents our best hiking tips, with a link to "Alltrails" for easy navigation.
Grövel tours are trails that are clearly marked and managed by the Grövelsjöfjällen Tourist Association.
