Björnen to Åreskutan
Are
Early season ski touring (11/20). The most common route to climb to Åreskutan with touring skis. Started from the outdoor gym parking lot in Björnen and climbed (ski toured) to the peak. The snow was a bit limiting, so the middle part of the freeride ski route wasn't that easy due to it.
