Visit the park several times at different times of the year, always beautiful. Dogs on leashes are always welcome. Space for outdoor grilling. Highly recommended

A mighty national park with awesome views! Partly difficult and risky terrain as large angular boulders are widely scattered. You shouldn't hike if it's wet! Have visited Fulufjället 2 times, both times at the end of August. Very good time to go here, parking can be difficult during high summer. It is well worth going to this park, it has something unique about it and it is a place I want to return to at least once a year!
