Thanks for this summer Chamonix, and more importantly, thanks to all the people there. Always lovely to see you all!! As usual not enough time to catch up as much as I would like, but thats life.
Be safe in the hills everyone, and I will see you in the winter (school brake the coming winter!!).
On my way north now before heading over the pond to go visit my brother @bjarnesalen and live the fancy vanlife in his pimped up vehicle from @salenadventurevans.
This will be fun!

One of the buzzwords in the running world has for a bunch of years been "skyrunning". I am really not sure what it's supposed to include but
I think it's just a term for adventures that gives you a lot of sky, but not so much running. They usually seem to include scrambling for an unknown amount of hours and then running on trails to get home again. That's at least exactly what happened today with @idanilssi on our little exlploration tour. An enjoyable way to move and always a good way to see new terrain.

Yet another day where I click in "trail run" on the watch, knowing that it's complete bullshit to include the word "run" in what we planned.
Linking up some ridges with the machine @wilderknott that I have not seen since pre-covid, so a nice day for a catch up.
Started at the index lift, ended up at the col de Salenton after been pretty true to the ridge except the last bit that pushed us down a bit.
Fun day where we saw way more Ibex and Chamois than we did people.
For sure way more scrambling and climbing than running. A "Scrun" as Rachel put it.

"I refuse to be seen on an E-bike before I turn 75

"I refuse to be seen on an E-bike before I turn 75" said Rainier, 67, and climbed the Matterhorn. If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.

It doesn't always have to be action photos. Today's little snack brake before getting up and over Col de Barberine called for a "just sitting down and enjoying life"-photo.
20k and 800 verts today. The self named group "Espresso trails" keeps on going strong!

I am really not sure what to call yesterdays mission with @petterrestorp. We covered about 36km and 3500 of vert in just under 11h..... I recorded it as trail run on my watch, but trust me, there were not many trails present on this tour. We did our best to stay true to the ridge between Col des Verts and Col des Aravis. Think there were two segments that we skipped a bit, simply due to self preservation.
Other than that, we were on the ridge more or less the whole time. After 8h or so we had the option of bailing down before the last segment, but then one of us said "let's just look around the corner first". 3h later we were by the car. I have not been that drained for a long time (photos bare whiteness of this).
Pretty crazy feeling linking up these features. We ended up putting on the rope 2 times for small climbing sections, but ended up not doing any rapells, just down climbing. There are some sections that are pure class, and some sections that are mostly choss held together by god knows what. Highly recommend Traverse for anyone in for the extra adventure.
All in all an epic day!!
Extra cred to @paul_bonhomme_officiel that made the link up between Clusses and end of the Aravis, and filmed it a bit so we got some info/inspiration. Impressive!!

Thought this photo by @perasmountainguide from a few days ago on the alpine course for @sbo_svenska_bergsguideorg was a bit to nice not to post.
Great days teaching the course with Per and @rasmuskrogerus_mountainguide. Tricky weather at times, but managed to squeeze in alot anyway. Today we got what I think would qualify as "Scottish conditions" with wind and rime all over.
Good work everyone, thanks for a nice week.

Celebrating Swedish midsommar with a little stroll

Celebrating Swedish midsommar with a little stroll this beautiful morning. 2h after this we were in complete whiteout but managed to find the hut for the night anyway. The weather can really change fast in the hills....
Not sure the midsommar celebrations will be anything special in the hut, but who knows?

In 2012 I visited The Lyngen Alps together with my brother and the late Andreas Fransson. We had a lot of amazing skiing and great days out. The trip resulted in 3 episodes made by my brother, Bjarne Salén.(Yes, I have cut my hair....)
