Vemdalen - skiing to Sweden

In the central part of Sweden, in the Jämtland region, is the charming village of Vemdalen. It is a popular ski base located at the foot of the Swedish part of the Scandinavian Mountains. The ski season here generally lasts from the end of October to April. About half of the slopes are artificially snowed. The beauty of the region attracts lovers of rugged landscapes, and the variety of leisure opportunities means that the resort is visited by thousands of winter sports fans each year.

Vemdalen Ski Resort

Vemdalen advertises itself as a resort where snow is guaranteed . In the period from December 20, 2013 to April 23, 2014, tourists visiting the resort can be sure that they will have access to at least 26 slopes, including trails with a minimum slope of 300 meters. Vemdalen boasts extremely good conditions for winter sports - the resort is located at a high altitude, and in the winter season the thermometer consistently shows sub-zero temperatures, which means that there is a lot of snowfall. In the event that, for any reason, the thickness of the snow cover turns out to be insufficient, a modern snowmaking system will provide skiers with ideal conditions for skiing. In other words, there is no way that there is no snow here and the holiday was unsuccessful.

Skiers from all over the world can enjoy the slopes of several resorts that together form the Vemdalen resort : Vemdalsskalet, Björnrike and Klövsjö / Storhogna. Each of them has modern lifts and its own snow park, and the region is crossed by 70 km of routes specially prepared for cross-country skiers. Snowboarders will not be bored either - there are many attractions waiting for them in Skalsfjallet. 54 wide and long runs of all difficulty levels are served by 30 lifts.

Vemdalen attracts thousands of tourists with well-groomed trails, of which 33% are routes for non-advanced skiers (green), 25% are blue runs, 24% are red, and 18% are black runs. In Vemdalen, everyone will find a slope suitable for themselves, but the beginners will be the most satisfied. They can learn to ski under the watchful eye of experienced instructors from the local ski school, and get to know the surroundings, which are breathtakingly beautiful.
