Flatruet
Z 531Funasdalen to Ljungdalen
Sweden’s highest public road across an exposed gravel mountain heath at 975 m.
Flatruetvagen runs about 38 km between Funasdalen and Ljungdalen in Harjedalen, climbing to around 975 m where it is recognised as the highest public road in Sweden. The summit section crosses a bare, tundra-like heath of hard-packed gravel grazed by reindeer, with long open views toward the Norwegian border mountains. Much of the high stretch is unpaved and exposed, and it is effectively a summer drive. Mind the loose gravel surface on the high section, sudden mountain weather and fog, and reindeer wandering across the open heath.
