A low, wind-swept plateau opens ahead: lichen-scabbed rocks, pockets of dwarf pines and a wind that seems to push you forward. On this three-day traverse of Fulufjället National Park, hikers move from dense, ancient forest to a stark alpine plateau where the ground changes from peat and heather to expanses of bare rock and boulder fields.
