The police are searching for a 60-year-old Norwegian man who disappeared during a canoe trip on Övre Hågåsjön lake in Älvdalen, Dalarna.

The last contact with the man was on Monday. On Saturday, the canoe was found upside down by a police helicopter. At the same time, the man's dogs were found on land at the same location.

Mountain rescue efforts began, and a team of mountain rescuers and search dogs have been searching the area together with the police.

The location is very difficult to access, says Maths Thörn, duty officer at the police.

At around 8 pm, the police announced that the search would be suspended for the day.

It's rough terrain and dark, says Maths Thörn.

It will resume tomorrow. We hope and believe that he has made it to land.
