FUNÄSDALEN: Sweden's HIGHEST ROAD Flatruet, Idre, and a lost key! // EPS 19
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 мар 2021
- Join the journey over Swedens highest mountain pass Flatruet to Funäsdalen and to two Fjälls to Idre.
Rolling Hills, roaring rivrs, and vast woodlands: the county Härjedalen is the perfect place for a new adventure - like losing my motorcycle keys.
After having breakfast in Oviken our riding day started from the small town Persåsen - and quickly took us up a mountain. More or less by accident we stumbled over "Flatruet".
With an altitude of 975 meters, Flatruet is Swedens highest public mountain pass accessible with a vehicle and way above the tree line. It connects the towns Funäsdalen, Ljungdalen and Åsarna
and is winding in the midst of the Scandinavian wilderness and passes the big mountain plateau Flatruet.
The next day we started in Tännäs close to Funäsdalen and picked some more small roads to drive to the town Idre. After making some beautiful shots with my drone the biggest mistake of this journey so far happened. I LOST MY MOTORCYCLE KEYS and only realized it much later when the bike with the keyless ride would not start anymore.
If we found the keys again? Watch this epiosde to find out!

LOL! Key chain! Extra key. You are in another country and in the wilderness! Good video!
That’s so funny and a good thing you found the 🔑!! But you didn’t see that license plate just on the other side of a bush - haha 😂
Great vids !!
Thanks Lea for making me realize how much beautiful nature we have up north in Sweden! 👍🙏🙂!
The roads you drove were also very scenic and there obviously are a lot of roads well worth exploring, some of them paved but mostly really nice gravel roads 😀
Yes, you live in a beautiful country! Well worth to explore!
Hallo Lea, da hast du aber Glück gehabt mit den Schlüssel.
Top Video, danke 😀 👍.
Gruß, Ralph
Hallo Ralph, ja, Glück oder: jeder wie er es verdient! 😂
Nein, im ernst, das wäre wirklich ärgerlich gewesen, der erste lange Trip ohne Ersatzschlüssel, weil es nicht mein Motorrad ist....
Great choice in music - awesome scenery & what good luck with the key 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾😉🤣
Thank you!
I love the vast lands. They show us how small we really are, but at the same time makes me feel free.
Yes, exactly the feeling I have - couldn’t have said it better! 🙏🏻😍
@@Got2Go Happy to know we share the same feeling !
Thanx for sharing these lovely videos. I'll will follow you all the way back home. Welcome back to Finnmark .
Thank you! I hope I can visit again at one point - so many great places that I still would like to see but had no time to...
ALL HAIL THE KEYFINDER!
Excellent video. Wonderful relief.
You will get more subscribers becous u vlog is really good, love them. I by car go stockholm north cape 2019, loved it. You show north sweden i never been, give me insperation to go. Living in sweden and never see what you see. Thank you, keep do what u do,
Thank you so much for the nice words! It’s a fantastic area and very worth to explore! Loved the ride in Sweden!
So impressive how you show Sweden's beauty from above and in detail! Thank you for an amazing episode with happkey end and see you next Thursday 😊!
Happkey 😆
Hahah, I love that expression too! Christoph, you should do the texts for my videos!!!
Hi Lea, diese Geschichten mit dem Q -Schlüssel bleiben im Gedächtnis und werden oft erzählt werden. Ich hätte da auch ein Kapitel hinzuzufügen.... Wieder eine 1a Episode. Insbesondere die Drohnenaufnahmen sind der Hammer. What n Weitblick 👌 . Das hat mir in Andalusien schon sehr gut gefallen - aber Schweden 🇸🇪. Steht sehr weit oben auf meiner Liste 👍
Oh was ist denn deine Geschichte? Ich hoffe sie ist so gut ausgegangen wie meine und du hattest einen guten Schlüssel-Finder an deiner Seite! 😂
@@Got2Go das erzähle ich dir sehr gerne beim nächsten Treffen beim Touratech oder wo auch immer. Vlt kommst du ja auch mal in den schönen Schwarzwald 😁
Another great video Lea and hopefully a lesson learned too. 👍👍
I absolutely love your films...especially these nordic countries...you're inspiring this 62 year old to sell his 41 year old bmw and buy a newer tourer and head off...🙏💗
Oh no, that one you can’t sell! It’s for sure such a nice vehicle!
@@Got2Go Bless you for saying! It's a R80/7 with S fairing....completely original and I bought it in 1982...beautiful bike. Still inspired by you tours and your passion....I rode motorcycle 19 years before buy a car for my family. Looking forward to more of you adventures 🙏 Blessings John
That sounds like a bike that would be nearly too nice to travel with! It’s like an old timer! 😍
@@Got2Go 💗
Awesome journey. Lovely to watch. You are lucky enough that, you are travelling around the world through Motor bike. I can also ride on Motor bike. But couldn't complete such an adventurous trip yet. However enjoying your trip every week. Cheers.
Thank you! Happy that you are watching!
Fantastic video. Love Sweden. Beautiful forests. I've travelled here many times by bicycle. Camping in the forest.
Beautiful as usual. Those forests, open mountain roads & the lack of cars make for perfect riding conditions.
Yes, had so much fun riding in Sweden!
Of course your luggage was still there, its Scandinavia! Great video, as usual. Thanks for taking us along
Yes, I didn’t expect it to be stolen, there was as well not exactly many people taking that road. 😂
Fantastic filming of Swedish countryside. Greetings from Sverige.
Ever since my kid locked my only key in the car many years ago I have always carried a spare set with me on long-distance trips be it on a car or bike. Glad you found the key. Your videos are so entertaining between the scenery, commentary , music choice and events. Cheers great episode.
The transitions of the drone visuals were very nicely synced with the music that was playing in the background. Nice creative touch. And I particularly enjoyed the music choices in this video. Thank you.
Thank you for watching again!
Wonderful relaxing bike ride into a delightful Swedish countryside.
Thank you for sharing this with us . I love to watch your videos while having my morning coffee. I am a biker too with an R1 bike, I traveled to Austria, Germany and Holland on a motorcycle. Now I live in Egypt and I left my bike in the U.K. , hopefully this summer I get to plan a trip and go somewhere.
Fingers crossed for all of us that we will be on a journey soon again! ☺️
Hi, I enjoy your motorcycle venture .. beautiful scenery ... Wildlife... thanks. 👌
First visit on Flatruet was religious... around summer solstice.... Thanks for posting
I'm really happy you were able to find your key. That could have turned into a real nightmare. Thanks for another great episode and looking forward to next Thursday.
Yes, that could have been a not so fun day. But after we found it we were in quite a good mood the whole day!!!
Yay 🙌 ❣🙌 awesome uplifting vid. Thank you x
Another fab episode. Perfect remedy for another cold, dark Thursday evening. Liked the gravel trails, and you've made me an even bigger fan of the non-keyless systems on my bikes! :)
Yes, I would never get a keyless ride myself either. It’s super convenient, but once something goes wrong it’s just terrible!
Stunning road! Will add to my film list! Thanks for the knowledge 💙
Just amazing that in all that landscape your partner was able to find the key FOB. I am not a fan of them but they seem to be more common on vehicles these days. Enjoying your videos.
I hate keyless rides - would never get one on my bike if I ride on a long journey. 😒
But yes, he did a pretty good job! ☺️
Really, finding the keys in those latitudes, you are very lucky. What a good thing.
Very nice places and very good shots, excellent. Thanks Lea.
Thank you Alfonso. Yes, very lucky.
Waooooo que miedo haber perdido las llaves, y que alegría haberlas encontrado.... Exelente video.. 🏍️
That drone shot with trees and dark blue water in the landscape took my breath away! and please convince your travel partner to be a part of your video, that would be good! enjoy your journey!
Thank you! That unfortunately will probably not happen as I respect his privacy ☺️
But a little mystery is good as well.
Another great video Lea, glad you found the key. I bet you were relieved keep it in your jacket pocket
Another fabulous episode, the sense of tranquility is palperable when I watch these. I always wear my bike keys on a lanyard around my neck, you can laugh about losing the key now, it would have been a disaster to lose a key out there.
Yes, a little Desaster, but I as well always see it as another adventure. If we would have lost it I guess we would have needed to wait for the spare key being sent from Switzerland - so in the end would have been some more days of exploring Sweden. 😂
Oops, One very lucky Lea.
Great drone footage yet again.👍 I've just bought a DJI MINI 2 for our adventures.
Oh you gonna love it! It’s so nice to see the world from a different perspective!
You make excellent videos. Such beautiful countryside, great narration and accompanied music.
Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Such a beautiful country and another great video. Good job you found that key. Ride safe Lea 👍🏍️💐
Thank you! And yes, we were so lucky. 😂
Thanks for the great video again. Every week i am waiting these thursdays to see your next episode.. And your smile is very beutiful...😉.
Thank you Jari! ☺️ then see you next Thursday again hopefully!
amazing what scan do time and again with yours videos. Glad you found the key.🤗👌🇺🇸
Thank you! ☺️
Another great episode, must laugh about the key :) Important with some humor. Thanxs again for sharing. Have a nice week-end..
I laughed too - but only when we found it again! Before I was more like 🤯
I once lost my motorcycle key at the beach around 1966 and that was when I learned to "hot wire" that bike.... Something impossible on these modern bikes!!! Great adventure!!!
Love that you now know how to get going all the older bikes out there! 😂 would be interesting to know how they for example start stolen newer motorcycles? 🤔
So glad you found the keys, you can enjoy your ride again.. Lovely countryside and forest.. Great drone filming ....
Thank you!
Ich bin eifersüchtig auf Ihren Reisepartner, mit Ihnen in diesem schönen Land zu fahren. Trotzdem kann ich die Fahrt genießen. Danke vielmals. Bis zum nächste Woche.
Ja, er hat ein gutes Leben, ich bin nämlich auch ein guter Routenfinder! ☺️
@@Got2Go Die Route ist immer viel wichtiger als das Ziel, aber ein Schlüssel ist wirklich notwendig ...😜
Hey Lea. Greetings from Oz. More magic scenery and great gravel roads. Pleased you were able to find the missing key. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure.
Hello to OZ again! Besides of my lost key it was a very beautiful day!
Beautiful video again Lea! Looking forward to more🙂
Thank you! Then hopefully see you next Thursday!
Yes, excellent video, as usual, and you are very lucky to have a very patient travel partner. But I got the impression that you found the north of Norway much more inspiring.
I actually don’t know, looking back I think I enjoyed the riding in Finland and Sweden the most because it felt more “free”. Much more small gravel roads, just getting lost and taking one road after the other. It’s a bit more how I like to travel even though north Norway is very stunning!
So nice movie again. I love the style you make these videos. And your luck with the key!!! I'm happy that you found it. I can hardly wait for the next episode. I wish you share your driving map at the last episode 😊
Outstanding and amazing vid wow them dirt tracks looked great to ride..l
See the reindeer are still trying to race you ..lovely Drone footage.....congrats to your travel partner for finding your keys 👏 ......Lea you was so lucky see you soon in your next vid take care and be safe..cheers!!🤗👍🏍✌
Yes, the reindeer are always by our side! I first thought a reindeer stole the key. 🤣
Thanks to your wonderful videos I´m planning a trip up north myself.
You will enjoy it for sure! But bring rain gear! 😂
You were so lucky to find your key Lea. You owe your 'Riding partner ' a beer. LOL. Another great and entertaining video. Beautiful scenery. Can't wait for the next one.
I think he got a gin tonic that evening! Always trying to keep the key finder happy. 😂
That was a road less traveled. Great scenery. So pleased you found the key.
Me too! What a Desaster that would have been... 😂
You are very funny Lea!, I love your videos!
#1 ....drinking red wine...cosy warm house ( strong winds/rain outside ) ...but dreaming of being with you on these great roads...stay safe...thanks for sharing.. ( a new meaning for KEYLESS ...lol )
Hahaha, yes, that was a real keyless ride 😂😂😂
How beautiful views on the road! And you were really lucky to find the key! Great job, hahahaha!!!
Yes so lucky. Crazy! 🤯
Fantastic footage Beautiful scenery 👍👍
Thank you!
Very nice narration as usual!
Keyless ride creates an adventure inside the adventure. Hey travelpartner, you are a brilliant tracking dog, to find the "needle in the haystack" Well done. BTW, this episode is fine too ;-)))
Yes, he has definitely many talents! 😂
Thank you for amazing episode 👍 und Schlüssel gefunden 😀 many regards!
Gott sei Dank! Oder eher: Travel partner sei Dank!
11:02 From “ Keyless Go” to keyless walk. 🙄 Great that you found it. 👍🏻😉
I didn’t know that can drive without the key in reach. BMW - Technik die begeistert 😜
Great tour. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏻😃
You can start with the key in reach (my travel partner put it on my motorcycle after I flew the drone) and then obviously can continue without as it must have fallen down right when I began to drive. 😂
Your so lucky to find the Bike key, phew what a relief. Nice Drone footage, soo vast.Very nice.
Yes I was so relived too! 😂🙏🏻
Tolles Video. Schön gemacht.
Danke, Thomas!
Great video again 👍 Thank you
Thank you!
I enjoyed the 'if you're happy and you know it' music. Quite funny.😊
😅 I as well was quite happy
I was on one of my Western Moto trips. I stopped for a few days in the Badlands and camped. On the second day I got on horseback, which I love to do on vacations. It was a group ride on sleepy trail horses and the guide was very, very strict. He told me to put the camera away and as I did an SD card left me like a butterfly in a Summer wind and there was no stopping to get off the horse. I got back on the bike at the end of the trail and rode to the closest point I could park the bike and hiked in about 20 minutes to where I thought I might possibly look for it, because of course it contained many, many photographs and videos from my trip. I found it.
What, that’s crazy!!! Sometimes I just think it’s nearly destiny how things return back to us! 😂
@@Got2Go Destiny, persistence and superhuman navigation skills !! Oh, and luck, too.
Hey. Nice filming as usaly. Here in Sweden we had snowfall all day and almost all night. Then its nice to look at your clipps....
Yes, at one point there will be another summer coming! ☺️
What a beautiful landscape :-)
It indeed was!
Wonderful landscapes. Fantastic trip. Your beautiful videos are too short for me. Until next Thursday ... the wait will be long. 😬😉
Thank you! It’s only seven days! ☺️
A beautiful ride through nature. Lucky to find your key! Ride on
Thank you, Hans! ☺️
Thé road and thé scenry in Flatruat is so astonishing.Hope oneday i also can bé a witness of thé beauty.
Yes it was so beautiful! Thanks for watching again!
Good to see the need for sun protection rather than rain protection. Enjoyed the ride ☀️👌👋
Yes, finally! ☺️
@@Got2Go I forgot to mention, on one of my ride the passaenger seat fell off. Discovered after about 20 km riding. I turned around, rode back slowly and scanned the roadsurface. all the way back to where I started. Expected to find the seat within the first 2 km, since that was the most bumpy gravel road. Never found it, wasted 5 hours of my life 😂 Lesson learned: Double check the locking mecanism of everything that may fell off 🤣
I met another traveler once who told be that he forgot to strap his bag to his bike. He realized about 300 kilometers later that it fell off and never found it again. 😂🤯
I have to admit though that I would not expect a passenger seat to fall off that easily, even if it’s not locked properly. 😳
@@Got2Go, Lea that could have been a own history book of funny stories. The mc riders lost collection book. ha ha, sure there must be many such stories. One of my routines before setting off, check all my pockets and zippers that they are closed. But some times one forget. I am sure you know the feelings after a ride, and you discover you have ridden a long distance with an open zipper in one of your main pocket. And happily discover that yes, the keys or the cellphone is still there. 🤣☀️
What an relief it must have been when your friend found your key 😍
ha ha...good luck Lea...you found the bike key...thank God !
You are looky to fine the key any way get on your way see you both next time be safe out there .
Hope to see you here on the channel soon again! ☺️
A beautiful, contrasting ride - I can think of a lot worse places to lose a key...!
Yes me too - but I was still happy when we found it!
great video with happy end :)
Yes, luckily! ☺️
The relief 😌 of a found key 🔑 beautiful place 😍
Yes, never happened to me before (because I as well don’t have any keyless ride 😂😂😂)
Familiar area. We have been weeral times in Idre. Beautifull scenery. And you were very lucky to find the key.
Yes it’s a very stunning area! So lucky we were! 😂🙏🏻☺️
Super nice movie. Very well filmed.
Did you try to shout at Flatruet?
The voice is not heard. The sound has nowhere to go.
Even if you scream, it almost comes as a whisper.
Leaving the motorcycle on the road in those areas is no problem.
Nobody steals anything there.
I think you should have a spare key if you travel in northern Sweden.
It is so extremely sparsely populated inland.
You can walk a hundred kilometers without meeting anyone.
In Sweden, there are just over 300,000 km of gravel roads. 99% of the roads are free to travel on.
There may be one vehicle a week on some roads.
It is not profitable to pave gravel roads when there is no traffic.
The roads are usually salted to get rid of the dust.
Welcome back!
We love people who ride motorcycles through Sweden.
Great video. Good to see Flatruet in Härjedalen. /Morgan
Such a beautiful place ,thanks for sharing with us your journey, cheers from Israel
Hello to Israel! Hope to rise there too one day!
@@Got2Go yes you must come to the dead sea it's such a beautiful place, pretty hot like 45° celicous degrees in the summer there is like 30°+ degrees different between Sweden and the dead sea😂
Omg finding that key is like 1 in a 1000. Great content you are sharing !
Nice video. I hate the key-less system. My worst fear would be like you to loose it in the middel of nowhere... If its fixed to the bike when riding then its best. At least I think so. Keep up the good work and videos. Cheers from Norway :)
I think so too - would never get a keyless ride for a journey to Africa or around the world!
Hi Lea, great video, lucky you found the key because it's a long walk back to Switzerland 😀 I have had a similar experience with keys, I took a swim in a lake with my keys in my pocket 😱 luckily they didn't fell out 😅
Woah that would have been horrible - as well not das to find in a lake! 😂
@@Got2Go I realized it while swimming so I had to swim back with one hand in my pocket 😂 just an other question, when is your book going to be published in english?
Love the video
Thank you!
Impressive video 👍👍😊👌👏
Thank you!
I love watching your video
Thank you!
Ok. Now you gave me another spot to visit/drive here in Sweden. 😀😍
Very beautiful video. The drone shot was really nice! Yea, I’m not thrilled with keyless ignition. I am very happy you found it. What would have happened if not? Not a good feeling. I love the traditional key on my bike. I know where it is, I can see it. Best!
Yes I completely agree. Keyless ride is not for me! I guess we would have left the bike where it was and got the second key sent via express to the next village! 😂
Everything turned out great. Wonderful!
Just found your amazing videos and start dreaming of the coming trips. Hopefully with access to Norway also which is such a beautiful country even for a Swede:-). Subscriber of course. Thanks for taking us along.
Hello to Sweden and welcome to the journey! They are both beautiful countries - Norway is a bit more spectacular with all its cliffs and mountains - but I actually liked Sweden better from a riding point of view. 😍
Amazing that you found your Key... Yes..👍
Thank you!
Fantastic work, as usual. Sorry about your key adventure. On long rides I keep a spare on a cord around my neck, just in case.
The little key adventure spiced up our day. 😂
Great footage again, my new GS is keyless, first ride out tomorrow and will need to think of a safe place to keep the key.
Yes, that’s a challenge. Or: always bring a spare on long journeys!
Wunderschön! 👍🏻😎😎
Danke! 🙏🏻
No way!!!! I can’t believe you (well, your travel partner) found it!!! Great job! We are all blessed to have your videos:)
I somehow had the feeling that we would find it again - my travel partner still laughs when I say that. 😂
Hi Lea, Spectacular drone shots as usual. Amazing landscape and it seems the reindeer and other animals like to test your reflexes by crossing in front of you. Keeps you on your toes. The lost key must have been a tense time but happily was found. You guys are a good team. Stay safe. Cheers, Dan. 🏍👍🇨🇦
Yes, pretty good team, especially because my travel partner is never upset or annoyed. If he would have lost his key I would have been like: 😳🙄🙄🙄😂
Got2Go Ah, he is the calming influence .? I would never have guessed that you would get upset since you have such a beautiful calming voice in your videos. Thanks again for another good Thursday, Lea. Until next time, Dan 🏍😀🇨🇦
I am not really getting upset about lost keys or other “struggles”. But I for example get pretty annoyed if my travel partner navigates and makes a mistake (that’s why I am navigating 99 percent of the time). I am just so used to making the routes and deciding where to go - and I am as well much more quick. So he gave up meanwhile on that and we are both happy. 😂
And yes, he is always pretty calm and basically never upset or annoyed by anything. That’s why I like to travel with him - I could not stand too much drama either. 😂
Got2Go Very glad it all worked out well in the end. The odds of finding the key were pretty slim. As a matter of interest, if you did not find it, would you have been able to get another and how would you do it ? 😀🇨🇦
damm thats an old " bombed" VOLVO at 1:15 😂
Thanks for another beautifull video... Cant wait to get to Sweden again,after this corona mess
Pretty cool car I think! 😂
Yeah 😎
No licenceplates.
Normal in the Sweedish outback 😁
They have a thing they call
"Folk-race" Where they drive offroad in old cars ...
The rule is .. If you are offered 5000 swedish kroner ... You have to sell it to the bidder 😀
Its something like "stockcar race"
That is a Folkrace car, only for the tracks, read about it here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folkrace
Beautiful views on the high plains! None of those pesky trees in the way ;-)
🤣 all those pesky trees. 😂
👍💪👏 from Buenos Aires, Argentina ❤️🥂
Hello to Buenos Aires!
Sweden is very beautiful
Cool area in a great country, on BMW R1200 gs 🏍💨
👍
It is! Can highly recommend!
It would be awesome if you live around that road and time to time you go there and drive ! I wanna one day live near there and drive e-bike whenever possible
