100 km from Kiruna, on the road to Riksgränsen and Narvik, you find one of Sweden’s most northerly ski resorts, namely Björkliden.

There are 25 pistes of varied difficulties and you are almost guaranteed not to have to wait in lift queues. Snow depth at Björkliden is normally 1.5 meters, meaning there are great opportunities for off-piste skiing. Be very aware of the avalanche danger though.

Björkliden is one of the few sites in Sweden where you can go heli skiing, allowing you to reach the more distant peaks. Not that we think you will, but if you for some reason are a little fed up with skiing, why not try snowkiting or join a snowmobile safari?

Many skiers combine their trip to Björkliden with a visit to Riksgränsen, Abisko or Narvik. A great way to further enrich your trip to this northerly mountain region.
