The line is OpenStreetMap's mapping of the route (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL), via Waymarked Trails, with heights from a 30 m terrain model. Check the current official route before a long trip: diversions and permitted paths change. See the source.
The trail
A three-day loop in the Jämtland fells linking the Swedish Tourist Association's mountain stations at Storulvån, Sylarna and Blåhammaren, across open fell with duckboards over the wet ground and the Sylarna massif in view. Walked Storulvån–Sylarna–Blåhammaren, as most people do, the longest day falls in the middle and the shortest last. Book beds and dinners at the stations ahead, especially in July and August, and check each station's summer opening dates, which differ.
Stages
A suggested split into 3 days of about 15.3 km (9.5 mi). Each day ends at the town or village on the way nearest to an equal share of the distance, or at a hotel or hostel where there is none. These are not the official stages: check where you can stay before you book.

Paths change, and the weather decides the day. The line comes from the source named under the map and the heights from a terrain model, so treat the figures as a guide. Check for diversions before you go, take a map, check the forecast, and turn back if it isn't right.
