About Storlien
Storlien is a saddle point in the Scandinavian mountains, and the highest point onSaint Olaf's Way, a pilgrim route in use since the 12th century. In Swedish history, it is infamous for a failed military campaign in the Great Northern War. After the death of king Charles XII, Lieutenant Carl Gustaf Armfeldt led thousands of men back fromNorwayin the winter of 1718–1719, into a blizzard where most of them froze to death. As the railway was built in the 1880s, Storlien emerged as a prestigious resort.The Royal Familyhas a house here. During the late 20th century, it has been in the shade of the more developed resort inÅre. As living costs in Norway have become the world's highest, Storlien has a retail trade out of all proportion to its small size.
