I went out winter camping on the bogs close to Oviksfjällen, I enjoyed some photography and outdoor life in the woodland close to the fells, Oviksfjällen, Jämtland, Sweden.
Old gravel road -Fäbodvägen
Fäbodvägen is a gravel road that runs between Börtnan and Persåsen in Jämtland County. As the road passes a number of old pasture huts, it is called the Fäbodvägen. Along the road are Galåbodarna with the entrance to Arådalen. Fäbodvägen connects to Börtnan.
Leaving a rainy Östersund
When I start driving from Östersund towards Oviksfjällen for some winter camping it raining but as soon I start to gain higher altitude it soon start snowing, very glad for that.
My small adventure close to Oviksfjällen began
I start skiing from a little parking lot near Fittjebodarna, I skied through an old woodland and bogs on new fallen snow that had drifted over the bogs.
Winter Camping on the bogs below Oviksfjällen
I Pitch my tent on the edge of an old woodland close to the big bogs below the fells, Oviksfjällen. Drifted snow made for a good ground to pitch my tent on, soon I fall a sleep to the sound of a Willow Ptarmigan, but I think I might dreamt that I heard the bird. I didn’t spot any Willow Ptarmigan the following day.
Time for breakfast
After a lovely night in the tent I woke up and prepare some breakfast, I boiled some coffee and eat some muesli. Tastes lovely, especially the boiled black coffee.
Winter mood below the fells Oviksfjällen
My favorite mood is these white out days, lovely atmospheric conditions. Time to time the fells, Oviksfjällen was visible through the thick mist. I pack my camera bag and head out into the landscape.

A glimt of Light
I notice a glimt of light so I change direction, instead of skiing towards the fells, Oviksfjällen I skiing south west towards Sonfjället. I spotted a couple of backlighted birches. Really satisfied with the capture.
Thornglade Elder
I manage to capture on more birch before it was time to head back to the tent.
I get down really low with my tripod when I capture this photograph.
Afternoon Coffee
Before I head back I boiled some black Coffee and eat some sandwiches, tasted lovely after a few hours on the bogs.
