The bear trail

Your first night is at basecamp in a fully equipped glamping tent on Dalsvallen, an old forest workers' settlement at the south entrance of Sonfjället National Park. You boil water for coffee, cook over the campfire and, if you dare, jump in an ice-cold pond after the sauna. Reindeer sometimes walk straight across the campsite.

The next day you hike into the park with an experienced outdoor guide. Sonfjället is one of Sweden's oldest national parks and is believed to have the country's highest bear population. You sleep in a forest cabin with a wood stove and continue through the old-growth forest the next morning.
