Idre Fjäll

Idre Fjäll rises above the village of Idre in the far northern corner of Dalarna, close to where Sweden meets Norway and not far from the region's highest fells. It is one of the country's most dependable snow destinations, sitting high and cold enough to open early and hold cover late, which has made it a stalwart of the Swedish family ski scene. The resort is large and self-contained, its slopes fanning out from a big spread of cabins and apartments so that families can ski from the door. The terrain is broad and mostly gentle, arranged around several fell faces that catch different aspects and light. Remote yet well organised, Idre Fjäll trades alpine drama for reliability, space and convenience, a classic northern-Swedish family holiday.

Go for some of the most reliable snow in Sweden and a big, convenient family resort where dependable cover and ski-in lodging come as standard. It suits families and groups who want a snow-sure week early or late in the season, with easy terrain and everything close to hand. Its far-north position is the whole point: cold, snowy and long-seasoned.

Set high in the cold far north of Dalarna, Idre Fjäll enjoys one of Sweden's longest and most dependable seasons, with dry, cold snow and the crisp, low light of the northern fells. Its several faces catch different aspects, so there is usually sheltered snow somewhere when the open fell tops are windy. Short, atmospheric early-winter days give way to bright, snowy spring skiing that lasts well into the season.
