Beginners

Vemdalen is the ideal resort for complete beginners of all ages. The long, wide slopes are well planned and designed to lead back to one central meeting point at the base of the slopes. Vemdalen’s ski school has a fantastic reputation and is one of our award winning ski schools. Its English speaking instructors provide excellent tuition, helping to instill confidence in even the most cautious beginner.


Intermediates

The ski school’s motto is “It’s Never Too Late To Learn”, highlighting their dedication to ensure that all skiers get something out of their skiing experience. The ski terrain
offers great intermediate skiing, with 10 lifts and 13 pistes in Vemdalen & 8 lifts and 15 pistes in Bjornrike, more suited to improvers and intermediate skiers. Vemdalen also offers floodlit skiing two evenings per week until the end of March.

Advanced

The combined resorts of Vemdalen, Bjornrike and Klovsjo/ Storhogna offer some variety for more competent skiers. A ski bus provides access to these areas (the service runs at least four days a week, more during high season and is payable locally). You can also take advantage of the specialist ski school courses which include off-piste, carving, moguls or telemark skiing.

Snowboarding

With two dedicated fun parks (including the new park at Skalsfjallet) and varied terrain, snowboarders are well catered for here. However, boarders should be aware of the many draglifts and T–bars!

StarStarStarStarStar by Cath & Kevin
Lovely intimate resort, the Swedes are lovely, very friendly and welcoming. The service in the restaurants and even the 'Sybylla' burger bar was excellent, not a miserable face in sight! Our Neilson reps, James & Natalie were brilliant and went out of their way to ensure our stay was a memorable one for all the right reasons. We stayed in one of the Skalsbyn apartments, which was very warm (too warm sometimes!) clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. With a view overlooking the piste, the ski school and lifts were less than 100m, and we were able to ski in and out to/from our door. The only thing I missed was a pool in the nearby hotel to jump into at the end of the afternoon....
