Evagraven

Canyon Messlingen, Jamtland County, Sweden

What to expect

Evagraven is a ravine located in the Flatruet mountain in north western Härjedalen, Sweden. It is one of the many ravines in the area, which were formed when the ice lake in the Messlingen valley burst and rushed down into the valley below. Evagraven is particularly famous for being so deep that the snow on its floor doesn't melt, even in the summer. The area is also home to other notable ravines, such as Fiskhålsgraven, which is home to rare and protected dwarf char. The Flatruet mountain is also known for its rock art, with the Ruänden area featuring about twenty figures depicting humans, bears, moose, and reindeer, dated to 4000 years ago. The climate in the area is characterized by cold winters and mild summers, with average temperatures ranging from -7.5°C in January to 11.1°C in July
