Jämt-Norgevägen

PILGRIM ROUTE: JÄMT-NORGEVÄGEN. Jämt-Norgevägen is a historic pilgrimage route of 480 kilometers in total (250 km in Jämtland Härjedalen) that stretches from the county border between Medelpad and Jämtland (Jämtkrogen) all the way to Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway. The route offers a varied and at times challenging hike through both forest landscapes, vibrant pasture environments and barren high alpine mountain terrain. Jämt-Norgevägen is divided into distinct geographical sections that change character the further west you go: Forest and cultural landscape: At the beginning, the trail follows the same route as the well-known St. Olavs Trail. At Revsund and Gällö, the Jämt-Norway Route turns south. Here, you pass Revsund’s pilgrim center and cross Lake Fageråssjön in Bodsjö with a hand-driven ferry. The Fäbod Route: The trail then continues via Hackås Church, over to the Oviksbygden area and on towards Ljungdalen. This section is strongly characterized by a beautiful fäbod landscape. The mountain world: From Ljungdalen, the hike continues up into the alpine mountain world. The trail passes the bare mountain between Helags and Fältjägarstugan, rounds Lake Sylsjön and connects to the Romboleden before finally crossing the Norwegian border on its way to Trondheim.
