Mountain Shadow guide
It is spring 1856. Your family walks for five days into the mountains to start a new life under Marsfjället. Build a cabin, catch fish, make hay and make friends. Can you get everyone through the long, dark winter?
In the dark time, the mountain hides the sun for weeks. Every year ends when the first sunbeam climbs over the ridge. Then everybody runs out into the snow, and you have a sun festival!
