Åre Wild Camp Part 4 [Up the Mountain] (Sept 1-5)

The next day was the day we actually got to go up the actual mountain in Åre. This mountain range is quite famous and holds many competitions in the winter and spring months and has even been nominated to maybe hold the Winter Olympics some day because of its world class facilities. It will hold the World Alpine Ski Championship in 2019. However there is was obviously no snow in September, so we were going to hike the mountain and take the ski lifts for other parts. We loaded the cars and drove to the mountain after completing the now daily ritual of breakfast and making lunch.

Photos can't do Åre justice as we were going up the ski lifts, that they run in the summer to take mountain bikers to the top, we were nearly silent which is almost impossible for exchange students.

After having a photo session on the top of the mountain. We headed down to the lunch place on this peak, which isn't even the highest, to eat our packed lunches. Next came the hard part, we had to hike down the mountain without using any of the trails because those were reserved for the mountain bikers.

We being exchange students and always being hungry decided to go to MAX for a second lunch once we were at the bottom of the mountain. Needing to kill even more time me and a group decided to explore the town a bit and then go bowling because why not.

This was our last day of the trip the next day was spent running people to the train station and or airport.
