The village is located at the foot of Funäsdalsberget, accessible by a high-speed gondola departing right from the town square. From the summit, visitors are treated to panoramic views of over 60 peaks exceeding 1,000 meters. Beyond the exceptional downhill and cross-country skiing, boasting over 300 km of groomed tracks, Funäsdalen is a cultural beacon.
