Situated in the heart of Sweden, Vemdalen is a scenic and snow-sure ski resort renowned for its long season, well-maintained slopes, and friendly, laid-back atmosphere.
The resort is made up of three interconnected ski areas - Vemdalsskalet, Björnrike, and Klövsjö/Storhogna - offering over 50 kilometres of pistes, all seamlessly linked by a modern, efficient lift system. Whether you're a complete beginner, a confident cruiser, or an advanced skier seeking steeper challenges, Vemdalen offers terrain to suit every level.
Beginners and families love Vemdalen for its wide, gentle runs and thoughtfully designed children's areas, where learning feels natural and fun. Magic carpets, playful ski zones, and excellent ski schools make it an ideal place for little ones to take their first turns on snow.
Intermediate skiers will find plenty to explore too, from winding forest trails to open cruisers with breathtaking views. Meanwhile, more advanced skiers can test their skills on steeper terrain and challenging black runs - particularly in Klövsjö, often called the "Skier’s Ski Area" for its dynamic, varied terrain.
