During winter, book your ski passes and equipment rentals online in advance to save time and secure availability at Idre Fjäll.

Idre in northern Dalarna is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts set in a pristine mountain landscape. The Idre Fjäll resort provides excellent conditions for alpine and cross-country skiing in winter, while hiking and mountain biking dominate the highlands during summer. The region is home to Sweden's southernmost Sami village, which is why reindeer are frequently seen roaming freely on roads and meadows. Nearby is Fulufjället National Park, featuring Njupeskär, Sweden's highest waterfall. Idre is also a renowned spot for sport fishing in clear mountain streams and features one of the highest-situated golf courses in the country.
