Blåfjella-Skjækerfjella National Park, Norway

The Blåfjella-Skjækerfjella National park is one of the largest national parks in Norway. Here you can experience humid and majestic "fairytale" woods and high alpine mountains. This is how Visit Norway describes this area and i'd tend to agree judging by the pictures i've seen!

Also nearby is Lierne National Park just to the east.

Skjaekerfjella is linked to Skräckerfjällen on the other side of the border in Sweden. Its a vast area with old growth forest and high mountains. Whats interesting is that certainly from the Swedish side this area is quite remote and unknown to many.

This is what I would call real wilderness and would be an amazing area to explore. Unfortunately i've never been in this area. I've been a bit to the north and south but never here. Its in an area which most people including tourists ignore as the mountains aren’t really that high and Kungsleden does not pass through here (there have been plans to do this but so far nothing has happened). Another bonus is that this is real Bear country and the chances of seeing tracks or even the animals themselves are considerable.

Why am I writing about this area? Simple, because its an area I would really like to visit!!
