Gyllene Triangeln Trail
Gyllene Triangeln Trail
13,7 km
The Golden Triangle is Lofsdalsspår’s most delightful semi-secret route. Many who have enjoyed Lofsdalsspår have, sooner or later, figured out the route themselves or received a tip from a friendly soul. The Golden Triangle route was named by the Trail Lady many years ago, but it wasn't until 2023 that it appeared on maps and in digital services.
The Golden Triangle consists of three sections from three ski trails in a triangular shape. It’s the perfect day route for those in a cheerful mood, looking to practice all techniques, uphill and downhill, with tailwinds and headwinds. It features two grill huts, two outhouses, plenty of opportunities to greet others, and a few moderately challenging hills. A real golden adventure!
