And the opportunity is here to discover yourself, as well as new acquaintances. Lillsylen 4 | Lundhags vinterkatalog In this winter catalogue we meet Kalle Grahn, an expert on the outdoor life from Utemagasinet, Sweden’s leading outdoor magazine. In two reports he recounts how Sylarna has developed over the years as well as providing tips on Sylarna’s best alpine experiences. Not to be missed. And the same goes for all the new products. Take particular note of Helags, our advanced new shell garment in three layer stretch. Perfect for a winter in paradise or a winter anywhere else for that matter.

A thinner pair on the inside next to the foot and a thicker one outside will prevent blisters. Take an extra pair along to change into. Always have an extra pair of soles in your pack. Soles also absorb moisture from the foot and get damp.

Selecting a pair of socks that are comfortable and functional is as important as selecting boots or ski boots. They should be moderately thick, have reinforcements in exposed places, and should preferably be a bit thinner around the ankle. And it goes without saying that they should warm the foot without sagging or chaffing at the seams. We have socks for all types of activities.

If your toes start getting cold you can start by putting on a hat. If you start feeling too warm you can regulate the heat in the same way, by taking off your hat. Another way of cooling down is to roll up your sleeves and expose your wrists where there are a lot of surface blood vessels. socks | 13 A few wor d s from ou r cob b le r. image erik olsson Just about anyone can learn to repair a pair of boots. But it requires time and patience. It has taken 28 years for Urban Eriksson to learn the craft. And even now he doesn´t take anything for granted. Urban is one of Lundhags’ own cobblers. Every day he receives a number of boots that are in urgent need of help. Often it is only the sole that needs replacing, but sometimes a total makeover is required. »Some customers have had their boots for 30 years and the soles can be as hard as hockey pucks. But once we have replaced the sole and perhaps repaired a few seams they last for many years to come«, as he puts it. On one occasion a customer had driven a snowblower over his foot. His foot survived but the boot was barely identifiable. After several hours in the workshop Urban was nevertheless able to return the boot to its happy owner. Not like new, but still fully usable. »That’s what gives me satisfaction!« » Some customers have had their boots for 30 years and the soles can be as hard as hockey pucks. « Urban started at Lundhags as far back as a twenty-year-old and has even had time for a spell in the manufacturing department. Even though the sole is imported from Italy and the fine leather comes from Germany, all production is conducted according to old traditions. Rubber and leather is punched out and joined together with great precision using special Nam e: sewing and bonding machines. And it is rare that anything goes wrong. Urban says that the least experienced of Lundhags’ cobblers has been working at the company for 15 years. So it might not be entirely fair to still call him the »work experience boy«. But it is quite funny. »The boots that are made today are very different from the ones we made when I was young«, he says. »The main difference is that there is so much more to choose from now, the boots have become more specialised.« It used to be mainly the design that was different, but today different boots provide different support and cushioning. Above all, the material has been developed and become much more pliable. And new models are being added all the time. Developments in women’s boots have made particular progress. As a rule women’s feet are both narrower and daintier, requiring a completely different fit. It is almost impossible to say in advance which boot will fit which foot, so they have to be tested on site in the shop. »The fit is the most important thing of all« Urban observes. »Out walking you can cope with a jacket that doesn’t fit very well, but a pair of boots that don’t fit can ruin the entire holiday«. Do you need to send your boots in for repair? Take the opportunity now during the winter when things are a bit less hectic for the cobblers. It can take a bit longer to get them back once the hiking season gets started in the spring and summer. But they will be back in full working order.

Lundhags’ shell garments have extremely good breathability, built-in stretch and are both wind and waterproof. Moreover, the low weight means that they are easy to take along with you in your backpack.

There are lots of tricks to avoid dry and cracked lips in the winter. However, the best way is to supply the body with vitamin C. Vitamin C strengthens the body’s cells, which we are in particular need of in the winter. This does not just apply to human beings. For example, the vitamin C content in pine needles increases sharply in the winter. Read more about how to make delicious and nutritious pine needle tea later in the catalogue. Nowadays most mountain stations take every conceivable kind of charge card. But you can never be absolutely sure.

At that time, around the turn of the last century, the location was regarded as very exotic and visitors were usually devoted enthusiasts. Today Sylarna has been developed into a popular destination for a broader target group. And just as before it is adventure that is at the centre. Sylarna’s mountain station was the first in the country when it was completed in 1897. It had room for 18 guests and: »A woman was hired for cooking and serving«. It was the peaked mountain and the fresh air that were the real attractions. The so-called air guests, who came from the dirt of the industrialised towns, were the mountain’s first tourists. Sylarna also represents the cradle of Swedish climbing. In 1899 Folke Wancke climbed Tempelpinnaklarna and the Slottspinnaklarna-Djävulskammen-Storsylen traverse, the country’s first proper climbing route. The almost vertical Sylväggen route was climbed for the first time in the same year. This was probably the first time in Sweden that anyone chose a harder route to the top purely for adventure’s sake. » The so-called air guests, who came from the dirt of the industrialised towns, were the mountain’s first tourists. « Gradually interest in Sylarna developed in earnest and in the following years tourists arrived in ever greater numbers. Despite this, attention eventually turned northwards, towards the higher peaks in Lapland, leading to a decline in interest in Sylarna. However, the mountains in Lapland do not guarantee a grand mountain experience. Sylarna can be encompassed as a whole, everything is here: The wide open spaces, the solitude, the alpine features, the steep faces, the ridges and even the glaciers. The feel of a Kebnekaise - though in miniature. You have time to experience in a single day what would have taken several days in Kebnekaise or Sarek. » It is simple to take the train from Stockholm Central Station in the evening and ski straight out onto the mountain the next morning. « In recent years Sylarna has experienced a considerable upswing. The station has returned to what it once was, when activities and adventure were at centre stage. The Jämtland Mountain Sport Centre has been brought back to life. Its function is to provide guides and entice people to experience the Jämtland mountains. In line with the prevailing trend for the outdoor life, families with children and groups of girls in their twenties have discovered Sylarna, something that was not happening 10 years ago. Interest in back country ski tours is also on the increase, and Sylarna offers a host of different trails with varying degrees of difficulty (read more on pages 34–35). Furthermore, accessibility to Sylarna is just right with today’s communications. It is simple to take the train from Stockholm Central Station in the evening and ski straight out onto the mountain the next morning. If you wish you can travel in a tracked vehicle all the way up to the station to give yourself time for maximum adventure in one weekend. But don’t worry that there will be too many people. Sylarna will always be something special and will never feel crowded out there. Also wireless broadband and TV will not be arriving there any time soon. Tranquillity in front of the hearth in the living room is quite sufficient after a day in the mountains. wh e n th e u n i on with n orway was dissolved in 1905 it came as a great disappointment for at least one Swedish mountain enthusiast. With a stroke of the pen Sylarna had become Norwegian and the border, which ended up 100 metres farther east than logic dictated, i.e. over the highest point, cheated the Swede of the peak. A personal attack! The man promptly climbed to the top and took it home to Sweden with him, or at least, the highest situated stone. It wasn’t until 1933, when a new Sylstation was opened that the anger had abated somewhat and »the top« was formally restored to the surprised Norwegian representatives. Tempeldalen 30 | Lundhags vinterkatalog lundhags.se | 31 Middle layer – warm and comfortable for all activities. The primary function of the middle layer is to heat the body. The middle layer is often a thin or slightly thicker fleece but it can also be a soft lambswool jumper or a knitted jacket. The multilayer principle consisting of undergarment, middle layer and shell garment creates air pockets that insulate the warmth and remove moisture from the body. If it gets too warm you can always put one of the garments in your backpack, making the whole arrangement extremely flexible. The Dynamic Jacket is made from recycled, environmentally friendly polyester – the same material from which PET bottles are manufactured. Tip! Check out our new fleece too, Turn 1/2 zip in the same material. We have removed the seams over the shoulders as they can chafe when you are carrying a heavy backpack.

With its alpine character, the top is an absolute must. Follow the track from the station that runs in the direction of the ridge between Lill- and Storsylen. There is then a somewhat steeper section up to the actual ridge. Many people choose to leave their skis here and do the final bit on foot.

In terms of climbing the difficulties are surmountable, but the length and the high alpine character make the route tougher. The Syl traverse can be really tough in wintertime. Starting at the foot of the Temple, follow the ridge up onto the first pinnacle, lower yourself into the notch and continue the climb up on Storsola. From here it is a simple climb and scramble all the way to Sylhammaren just below Storsylen where a short section of climbing leads up to the top.

What makes this route a real classic are the wide open spaces, the craggy peaks and the almost total solitude. Moreover, the three mountain stations are located at just the right distance from each other for a day trip. The Triangle as a whole is a perfect weekend trip if you start out from Storulvån on a Friday morning. Food can be purchased at all the stations, which means that you can ski with a light pack.

In the summer it is Sylarnas’ number one climbing route. The rock is relatively solid and firm, in particular after the first 50 metres. Go up the glacier to the foot of the column at the right edge of Sylväggen. Getting past the crack between the glacier and the actual mountain can be a bit awkward. Once you are up on the cliff the climbing, grade four, becomes better the higher you get. The route finishes at the boundary stone at the top of the column.

A lot of these routes require both experience and good equipment. Besides skis, helmet and backpack, back country equipment also comprises a transceiver, a snow probe and a proper spade. But the most important thing of all is to have company. If you don’t have that it is best not to go out at all.

However, the quality of the forecasts differs depending on where you are located. www.yr.no is a Norwegian weather service used by everyone who goes to the mountains. The term »desert« doesn’t actually have anything to do with the temperature of the location. One way of defining desert is in terms of the amount of precipitation, or rather the lack of it. Large parts of our Arctic regions are therefore deserts, and in fact, one of the largest is the Antarctic. 40 | Lundhags w inter 2009/10 H at s w i t h s n o w - b o u n d words.

But we never get to learn how to build a snow cave – the acid test for every true outdoor enthusiast. So we thought that we would rectify that now. Digging a snow cave is not necessarily a means of last resort for survival. It is possible to reside in the snow voluntarily. It is social, comfortable and warm. Moreover, it is absolutely silent and rather fun. Digging a snow cave requires a lot of snow. And as we often have westerly winds in the Swedish mountains snow usually collects on east-facing slopes. So, start by finding a really big snowdrift, preferably around five metres high.

It should be four metres deep and sufficiently soft to make it easy to dig. Expect it to take 3-4 hours to dig a snow cave for two people. Dig the snow cave at the top of the drift. Firstly, it is easier to shovel snow away from the construction as it falls downwards. Secondly, it is good for safety reasons. If you excavate the snow cave at a low point in the drift, the entrance can be obstructed if it gets windy and snow starts to drift. The entrance hole should be around 70 centimetres wide and standing height so that you are able to work comfortably. Dig a passage straight in about 3.5 metres. Then dig out surfaces to lie on on each side of the passage. Each of these areas should be about 1 metre wide and 2.5 metres long. The roof must be arched like a church roof, otherwise it will fall down during the night, which could result in a highly claustrophobic experience. Wall up the upper part of the entrance with blocks of snow. Walls and roof need to be 20 centimetres thick to keep the heat inside the snow cave. The sleeping places must also be located above the top edge of the entrance to preserve the heat. Make one or two ventilation holes using a ski pole. Excavate a reasonably sized 2. Cut out blocks of snow with a snow saw and position them in front of the entrance. » The temperature in a snow cave is usually around zero degrees, which is considerably warmer than a tent in wintertime. « space, the temperature will remain the same, but a large snow cave is considerably more comfortable to live in. The temperature in a snow cave is usually around zero degrees, which is considerably warmer than a tent in wintertime. A snow cave is fantastic protection against the elements and withstands both severe cold and wind. The key is to start digging in time and not to allow yourself to be taken by surprise in the wrong place out in the mountains. If you don’t have access to a suitable drift, you can dig straight down into the snow. Use skis and blocks of snow as a roof. Route markers are two metres long and provide a good indication of how deep the snow is. Stay on the path and mark the location of your snow cave with a ski or a pole to make it easier for the mountain rescue service to find you. 3. Welcome in! The temperature inside the snow cave is around 0°C. An absolute heat wave for a frozen adventurer. Always keep your spades inside the snow cave during the night so that you can dig your way out if the snow cave should become snowed in again. d i d you k n ow?

A large pack with a lot of pockets and features or one that is smaller and simpler? • Test that the back length fits you or that it can be adjusted to the right length. • Test the adjustment options, especially the shoulder straps and hipbelt. 50 | Lundhags w inter 2009/10 On your back • Pack the backpack so that the centre of gravity is at the centre and as close to your back as possible. • Ensure that what you are going to need during the day is easily accessible. • Pack carefully so it is more comfortable to carry. • Vary the adjustments during the day in order to spread the load. After use • Clean and wash away any dirt with soap and water. • Allow it to dry properly to avoid the risk of the backpack getting mouldy. • Store it in a dark place. • When necessary treat with Nikwax waterproofing. Thick sole . In the scouts we were always taught to stand on a bundle of twigs if we had to stand still for any length of time. This isn’t just an »old wives tale« that has come about by accident. In actual fact, where we make contact with the ground is one of the most important places to protect in the winter. The sole in our winter boots is different than that in our summer boots, with much thicker insulation that provides protection against the cold ground. Should you nevertheless get cold when you stand still, it might be because your felt sole has become damp due to sweaty feet. Always have a spare pair with you in your backpack and change them as soon as your toes feel cold. Dry the used soles inside your clothes and you will have a dry pair when the time comes for the next change. backpacks | 51 S k at e s – f u ll s p e e d w i t h f i x e d o r d e tac h a b le h e e l .

Areas of particular importance for the natural world can be protected by establishing a nature reserve. There are currently some 3,000 nature reserves in Sweden and together they comprise about 9 % of the country’s area. An even more substantial way of providing protection is to create a national park. This can only be done by the Government and today there are barely 30 of them. If an area is put on UNESCO’s world heritage list it is considered to have major significance for all of humanity. The mountain region of Laponia is currently one such area. 52 | backpacks accessories skates | 53 I c e sa f e t y.

The shivers. The winter is best in the spring. Boil a few handfuls of pine needles in half a litre of water. Allow the tea to simmer on a low heat for 15-20 mins. Enjoy! The beverage will provide a third of your daily vitamin C requirement and carbohydrates equivalent to a lump of sugar. If you put a few dried heather flowers in to simmer with the tea it will taste even better. Perhaps the most common reason for getting cold is actually not your clothes, but the body’s fluid balance. On cold days you become dehydrated more quickly as you dress more warmly and steam is lost through breathing. With time you learn to recognise »the shivers« caused directly by cold or lack of fluids. The Swedish mountain chain extends all the way from Dalarna up to the border. At the very top of the country the days are almost non-existent in December. If you want to get the most out of your days then the best opportunities are in April and May. boots and skating accessories | 55 O RO FR F LU EE c lot h i n g Opti fitting Zeth-Ar® is a 2 and 3 layer material with a PU membrane.
