Tänndalen Ski Resort

Tänndalen is located close to the Norwegian border in the Funäsfjällen region and has grown into one of Sweden's largest ski resorts since the first lift opened on Hamrafjället back in the 1950s. With 54 runs spread across four entry points, the majority of them marked red and blue, it's a particularly good fit for beginners and families. Thanks to its favourable elevation and proximity to the Norwegian border, Tänndalen enjoys exceptionally reliable snow conditions.

Hamrafjället - The heart of the ski area

Hamrafjället is the largest of the four entry points and offers runs for every ability level. Children and beginners can start at Barnliften, which offers both button lift and a magic carpet lift, and then take the green marked “53 Barnbacken”. Also graded green and blue, and therefore ideal for novices, are "50 Lodgesvängen" and "51 Gröngölingen", both starting from the summit and giving less experienced skiers the chance to enjoy a longer descent. There are also adventure areas such as Drömskogen and Äventyret, where you can get creative and ride in the forest, at an easier level.
Confident intermediates can take on the red-marked "49 4 Motion Hill" or "48 Headstråket", while experts will find a proper challenge on the black run "45 Vargstupet". Freestylers, meanwhile, will find a fun park and ski cross track in the run “46 Santa Cruz”. A lot of the slopes are accessible from the chair lift Hamra Komfort, which offers both wind protection and seat heating. 

Buskvallen - For intermediates and advanced skiers

From the top station of Hamra Komfort, skiers can access the Buskvallen area, but there is also parking if you wanna start there right away. Here red runs dominate, such as “29 Kläpphanget” and “34 Vallhanget”, so solid skiing ability is a must. Here there is also a park for freestylers. Buskvallen offers multiple ways of getting to the other areas, such as “31 Hamra Treversen” to get back to Hamrafjället, or “28 Tännlöpan” that will get you from Buskvallen to Tännporten. 

Tännporten - A family paradise

At the third entry point which you can reach both by car or skies, lies Tännporten, where everyone can feel at home. In Krokskogen, children can explore skiing in the forest with pre-made runs. Here you can learn to ski through play. Other more intermediate or advanced skiers can explore surrounding terrain and take the chair lift Tännporten Express, and go down the black run “15 Pebe’s” or the red run “10 Skrållan”. 

Svansjöliftarna - Varied skiing near Storsjökläppen

The runs at Svansjöliftarna complete the picture at Tänndalen, the last entry point which you can reach by both car and skies. Intermediate slopes like “3 Knix” and “5 Foxtrot” offer enjoyable cruising, while easier runs further up towards Storkläppen open this part of the resort to less experienced skiers as well. At Svansjöliftarna, freeriders can make the most of Freeride Paradise, spreading over multiple slopes offering untouched snow. 

Cross-country skiing in Tänndalen and Funäsfjällen

Beyond the alpine skiing, Tänndalen is perhaps best known as a cross-country destination. The Funäsfjällen trail network covers around 300 kilometres of machine-groomed trails for both classic and skate skiing, winding through valleys, birch forests and open high mountain terrain. The interconnected system links Tänndalen, Funäsdalen, Bruksvallarna, Ramundberget, Fjällnäs and Tännäs, and is regarded as the longest continuous trail network in the world. From week 7, additional fjäll trails open above the tree line, offering stunning high-altitude panoramas. The season starts as early as October on stored snow in Bruksvallarna and runs through to late April, sometimes even into early May.

The oldest restaurant in Tänndalen is located in the Svansjöliftarna area. Wärdshuset Forbonden serves mainly traditional Swedish home cooking. Families will feel especially welcome at Tännporten Restaurang & Bar, which offers dedicated children's menus. Over in Buskvallen, the café serves light bites such as sandwiches, while the Buskvallen Inn is famous for its freshly baked cinnamon buns in the morning. At lunchtime, it also offers hot dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, which can be enjoyed in the cosy restaurant or out on the sun terrace. Hamra Wärdshus in the Hamrafjället area keeps hungry skiers happy with burgers, pasta and sandwiches.

Families enjoy themselves on the "Familjebacken" slope, while experts take on the black-graded "Puckeln" run.

A truly unique experience is a musk ox safari. A snowmobile ride takes visitors to the one-of-a-kind musk ox enclosure in Tännäs, which can be explored on a guided tour. Here you can get up close to these remarkable animals, of which only around 4,000 remain in the wild worldwide. Other activities include ice climbing or discovering the winter landscape on a horse-drawn carriage ride.

For those looking for some après-ski action after a day on the slopes, Hamra Wärdshus is the place to be. It offers a wide selection of drinks and cocktails along with a varied programme featuring live music. The Buskvallen Inn also hosts live performances. Over at Tännporten Restaurang & Bar, a beer festival takes place every Thursday and Friday from 3 pm, and on Fridays the party goes on until 2 in the morning.

In the evening, Wärdshuset Forbonden serves fondue and steaks preceded by a wine tasting. At the Fjällhotell, guests can enjoy typical regional dishes featuring Arctic char or cloudberries.
