With three different ski areas located within 20km (13 miles) of each other, Vemdalen offers some of the most varied skiing facilities in Sweden.
The three areas, Björnrike, Vemdalsskalet and Klövsjö/Storhogna, are all well supplied with lifts and a wide variety of runs, from moguls to gentle, undulating slopes. There are good off-piste opportunities too. In addition, there are nearly 300km (180 miles) of well-prepared cross-country skiing tracks in the region.
Vemdalen also has plenty of natural beauty to offer. Klövsjö has been described as the prettiest mountain village in Sweden and also as the skiers' ski resort. This charming area is also peculiar in that it has the sunny and family-friendly slopes high up on the mountainsides, whereas the more challenging runs are located further down.back to top
