The area is characterized by low mountains and old-growth pine forest and here and there streams and wells break through. The Grövel Lake Mountains are a collective term for the area surrounding the lake which stretches over the border between Sweden and Norway. The highest mountain on the Swedish side is Storvätteshågna at 1,204 m. On the Norwegian side there are a few peaks that reach above 1,200 m. Reachable on a day walk lie Store Svuku and Gröthågna, which are both around 1,400 m.

Comments on Spa and Hike in the Summer Mountains:

"The Mountain Station was outstanding, the location, the amenities, the friendliness of the staff and the excellent food. Our room was very comfortable and we soon felt at home. We enjoyed our walks, the gradients were not too steep so you could reach the tops without great effort and enjoy the views. This holiday was everything that was presented on your website. My only regret was that we could not stay longer. We will definitely return to this wonderful country." Brendan
