💡 Tips

  • Purchase a 'Fjällpass' which grants access to all ski areas in the Funäsfjällen region, including Tänndalen.
  • The high altitude means spring skiing here lasts until May, often with the best sunshine.
  • There are designated tracks for cross-country skiing; always stay on the marked trails to protect the fragile alpine nature.
  • Look out for grazing reindeer, but keep your distance and never startle them.
  • Parking at the valley stations is straightforward, but arriving by the local ski bus saves hassle during peak weeks.

It is a premier destination for freeriders seeking untracked powder and for cross-country skiers looking to traverse the high-altitude plateaus with endless horizons. When the snow melts, Tänndalen reveals a lush landscape; Hamrafjället is famously known as one of the most botanically rich mountains in the Swedish fells, attracting hikers and nature photographers.
