Tjåmuhas 1730 Map

The East face of Tjåmuhas is a Swedish ultra classic steep ski decent. Exposed and easily windloaded face. Pick your day and be safe! Considering doing this route in two days, The Sami style old hut at Tältlägret burned down some years ago so you'll need a tent. Mid winter snowmobiling the approach is possible but from mid may you have to use your legs.
