Alpine Skiing

Idre Fjäll is one of the largest ski resorts in Sweden and has 40 slopes of various difficulties for alpine skiing, all of which can be reached with the same lifts. Once on the top, you'll be able to ski in four directions.

Ski lessons are available for both children and adults.

The best thing about Idre Fjäll is that you can ski in all directions, and no matter which way you head, there are slopes suitable for both the experienced skier and the beginner. Even if you split up, everyone ends up in the same place, ready to take the lift back to the top together. At Idre Fjäll, you can also leave your car parked for the entire holiday. All hotels, restaurants, cafes and shops are within walking distance of the ski slopes.

Skiing on Fjätervålen

Skiing on Fjätervålen

Fjätervålen mountain is where both beginners and advanced skiers find their delight. The vastness of the skiing area relative to the number of guests means it never feels crowded, and the slopes don't get overused. Perfect for smooth carving, but also a favourite spot for many alpine clubs for training and competitions. The slopes meet international FIS norms for slalom, giant slalom, and women's super-G. The fact that all slopes converge in one place is a definite advantage. Everyone can ski their favourite slope, but it's always easy to find each other again at the foot of the mountain.
