WINTER IN SWEDEN: An ADVENTUROUS trip in the far North
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This winter journey links Oslo with the snowy mountain country of Sweden, passing through Røros and across the Norwegian-Swedish border. A road trip in a BMW 1200 GS provides the travel framework for an episode that also explores the region by ski, motorsledge and on foot.
About this film
The film follows a trip from Oslo into the Swedish mountains during the winter season. Røros is presented as a gateway to the northern part of the journey, before the route crosses into Sweden and reaches the area around Lake Malmagen and Tänndalen. Alongside the road travel, the itinerary makes room for outdoor exploration: skiing in Tänndalen, visiting Sweden’s highest motorable road in deep winter, and travelling across the fjells by motorsledge. The description identifies a BMW 1200 GS, placing the film within motorcycle travel while making clear that the journey is not limited to riding.
The journey
The progression is from Oslo toward the Swedish mountains, with Røros along the way and a border crossing into Sweden before the film turns to the winter landscape around Lake Malmagen and Tänndalen. The route’s destination includes Sweden’s highest motorable road, visited in deep winter. The description does not provide a detailed road itinerary or specify the riding conditions along each section, but it frames the trip around snowy northern scenery and travel between Norway and Sweden. Once in the mountains, skis and a motorsledge extend the exploration beyond the road, offering different ways to move through the winter terrain.
People, places and moments
Røros, Lake Malmagen, Tänndalen and the highlands known as the Swedish fjells are the film’s named locations. The emphasis is on the contrast between road travel and activities in the snow: skiing through the Tänndalen area, crossing frozen plains by motorsledge, and exploring on foot. The description characterises the region as a winter landscape of forests, open plains and mountain country, but does not identify other travellers or local encounters. The highest-road visit is a key point in the itinerary, bringing the motorcycle-travel thread directly into the film’s broader outdoor adventure.
What to expect
- A winter road trip from Oslo toward the Swedish mountains, with a BMW 1200 GS identified in the description.
