Idre

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. In order to access the slopes and the lifts you'll need passes that can be obtained at the tourist office, at Idre Fjäll reception and at some local businesses. Ski lessons are available for both children and adults.

Over 2,400 km of prepared snowmobile trails await you around Idre, providing a fun way to explore the area's stunning natural surroundings. In particular, the Älvdalen's area offers two great areas for snowmobiling: the Nordic Area (www.nordicarea.se) in the south and the Snöskoter Område Norra Dalarna (www.sond.se) in the north. To drive a snowmobile here, you'll need a license that can be obtained at the tourist office, at gas stations and at some other local businesses. You'll also need to ask for map and information about the rules and regulations you need to respect. If you don't have a snowmobile of your own, there is a wide range of rental companies in the area, with the possibility to go on a guided tour. One of them is Idre Adventure.

In Idre, you can enjoy a unique ride on a sled pulled by beautiful huskies. Adventure Dreams dogsled organises several guided tours of different duration, going from 30 minutes to 3 hours. You can book the tour you prefer at Idre Fjäll reception. The meeting point for all tours is the Skistadion near the resort.

If you don't feel like going outside in the cold, Idre Fjäll Activity Center offers something fun for everyone. Here you'll be spoilt for choice: there are bowling alleys, an arcade, a gym, indoor pools, a sauna and a hall where you can play badminton, table tennis, basketball, volleyball and other sports.
