The mountain region of Härjedalen is mostly characterizedforests, farming and reindeer herding, but tourism has increased significantly over the last decades. The three main areas here are Hede, Funäsdalen and Lofsdalen. Sonfjället National Park is the biggest reason to visit the Hede area, where you may spot a bear if you’re lucky. The little village of Funäsdalen has, as the central point of western Härjedalen, long been an important stop on journeys to Norway. Today, the area around Funäsdalen is well known for its skiing in the winter but it’s perfectly suited for outdoor activities in the summer too.
Lofsdalen is a small mountain village in the western part of central Härjedalen. The town is mostly famous for its skiing but has plenty to offer in the summer as well. It was through the lofsdalen area that the pilgrims traveled on their way to Trondheim to the Nidaros Cathedral at the beginning of the last millennium.
