Autumn has its own, special charm, and there are plenty of ways to enjoy it. Here are some September tips on what not to miss. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ride the Kabinbanan (cable car)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

More info.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its inauguration in 1976, the \u00c5re Cable Car has become a true landmark. Summer and winter alike, the iconic red cabins carry visitors up to 1,274 metres above sea level, offering both a memorable journey and breathtaking views from the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the cable car house, you\u2019ll find food and refreshments at BaseCamp<\/a> if you\u2019d like to recharge. From there, it\u2019s only a light hike (trail 214) to \u00c5reskutan\u2019s very summit at 1,420 metres, where you\u2019ll also find Sweden\u2019s highest caf\u00e9, Toppstugan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Forage for wild mushrooms<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

More info.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time of year, social media is overflowing with mushroom finds \u2013 and for good reason! The forest floor is brimming with chanterelles, porcini, milk caps, hedgehog mushrooms and all sorts of other treasures. If you know where to look, you could be enjoying buttery fried chanterelles or adding a rich twist to your stew with milk caps. The only tricky part is finding them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people guard their favourite spots fiercely, so don\u2019t count on anyone sharing their secrets \u2013 but get out there and explore, it can really pay off! Chanterelles thrive in mixed or mountain birch forests on slightly damp south-facing slopes around 700 m above sea level. Milk caps are most common in pine woods, and boletes pop up almost anywhere. BUT! If you\u2019re not 100% sure what you\u2019ve picked, don\u2019t eat it.<\/em> The same rule goes for mushrooms as for any other wild plants or berries. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
