💡 Tips

Take advantage of the joint ski pass that gives you access to the three areas: Björnrike, Vemdalsskalet, and Klövsjö/Storhogna.
The 'Snöpendeln' ski bus connects the three ski areas for free if you hold a valid ski pass.
Vemdalsskalet is well-suited for advanced skiers, while Björnrike is particularly popular with families with children.
Watch your speed on the mountain roads, as reindeer often cross unexpectedly.

Vemdalen is a premier mountain destination in central Sweden, encompassing three distinct ski areas: Björnrike, Vemdalsskalet, and Klövsjö/Storhogna. Known for its reliable snow and modern lift infrastructure, it caters to everyone from toddlers on their first skis to expert carvers. Björnrike is a family favorite with its south-facing slopes, while Klövsjö gives some of the steepest and most challenging runs in the country. The region is equally famous for its extensive cross-country skiing network that winds through serene forests and open plateaus. During the summer months, Vemdalen transforms into a hub for hiking, fly-fishing, and wildlife spotting, particularly in the nearby Sonfjället National Park, a stronghold for Sweden's brown bear population. The local village atmosphere is warm and rustic, featuring small boutiques and cozy eateries serving Jämtland specialties. Whether visiting for the winter powder or the summer greenery, Vemdalen has a quintessential Swedish mountain experience.
