Sonfjället National Park

Sonfjället rises in solitary majesty above the forest canopy in central Härjedalen. The mountain and the surrounding forests are known as one of the most important strongholds for bears in Scandinavia. It is also an area with exceptionally clear and well‑preserved geological formations, created by the meltwater from the last inland ice sheet.

No matter where you are in Härjedalen, you can often see Sonfjället’s distinctive silhouette against the horizon.
