Small and large adventures

Many people say that Jämtland Härjedalen is one large playground. They may well be right. There are many small and large adventures here for all ages to enjoy.

Jämtland and Härjedalen invite you to wonderful days of skiing in the mountains and fishing on the ice in lakes teaming with char. Dog teams racing past spruce trees laden with snow, a toboggan race on the slope round the corner of the cabin, a long-distance ski trip on well-prepared cross-country tracks, after ski and party, or a cup of hot chocolate in front of the open fire. Something for everyone, it seems!

Jämtland Härjedalen – the downhill paradise

One of the most famous skiing places in Scandinavia is Åre. Many slopes, large drops and a cosy village feeling make Swedes and foreigners alike choose Åre for their winter holidays. But there are plenty of other ski havens in Jämtland Härjedalen.

Funäsdalsfjällen is a region with only natural snow. Ramundberget and Tänndalen have slopes for children and adults. The season is long and the lift cards are unlimited.

For a smaller area with equally great skiing, try Lofsdalsfjällen or Bydalsfjällen. These are popular haunts for families with children, and also for locals.

The winter is the high season of the year, and there is a lot going on. There are major events to enjoy, as well as smaller ones, targeted at more specific audiences, waiting to welcome you.
