Hammarbybacken reviews

First visit to Hammarbybacken today, so I thought I'd add a review. For people visiting Stockholm and in need of a quick fix on the slopes its great. Two T-bar lifts and 4 short runs to choose from with a couple of jumps and some small off piste areas. Its as basic as can be but good for a couple of hours. When I went it was hammering down with snow so there was some nice powder on the runs and even though there were lots of people there was plenty of space to mess around. I met a fellow snowboarder from Stockholm and he said it usually has a lot of ice on the runs, so its best to go after its been snowing a fair bit. Don't expect to much, after all its a hill not a mountain, and the reason there is a hill here is that it used to be a rubbish dump! Now if you ask me thats a great way to recycle! There is a pretty chilled vibe, and you can buy a pass by the hour. The more advanced among us will get bored quite quickly, but like I say, its good for a quick fix, and beats the gym any day! You can hire gear there to. Also very easy to get to by bus or tube, then a quick hop on a tram.

Grade wise, for what it is its OK and saves you a 3 hour bus trip to the nearest 'proper' resort.

Can't wait to ride this park... Hopefully it will be good enough!!!

We were there with our 8 year old grandson, his uncle and mother. It was a very nice experience except that our grandson got hurt badly, when he fell, while skiing. He is good at riding, so I think you should prepare in some way that it might hurt a little more than usual when you fall. Now we were offered the ski rental, otherwise it would have felt useless that no one even wanted to try to ride more than one ride and everyone is a seasoned skier. All three of them thought that the grass must be cut better, because it grows up in the holes and is very stopping when you ride. "It was like riding on tarmac," said my 30-year-old son, who is used to snowboarding, and my 36-year-old daughter, who is used to slaloming.
The other activities were a lot of fun though, especially the tobogganing and the cannon! so four out of five stars overall!

The entire slope is almost always a large lump of ice. The only time you can go is when it has just snowed or when it is plus temperatures

The quality of the snow and slope depends on the location in Hammarbybacken, as it is a wonderful opportunity to ski in the town.

good with a hill in the center and a big plus for the view but otherwise - choose another hill.

Chaos in the parking lot. Stop ban on land that "looked like parking". Many had received parking fines. Luckily we saw this.
In addition, my son was told that tobogganing was not allowed on the slopes.
I could not bear to quarrel with ignorant staff about the Right of Public Access.
We will boycott all of SkiStar's facilities in the future.

We call in advance to ask if there are lockers with such lock that you can lock several times and micro so we can heat our own lunch. Gaining affirmative answers to both. Coming to the hill; The cabinet swallows the ten crown and then it was gone. No micro so we have dragged food unnecessarily.
The slopes completely abysmal !! So badly cared for, big ice cream cones that saber the layers, icy, rock hard. No snow cannons despite freezing temperatures.
I, who has just been sick, can handle a ride in the little green child's back and can't bear any more. Have bought a 5-hour ski pass that is unused. But I must not return it because I have traveled in the barnback !!
They stand and claim that everyone who goes in the little kids' back - ie parents who teach their children to go - pay for ski passes! And that they do random samples from time to time. What a joke!! Do they believe in that themselves ?! They take my money for my unused 5-hour card, to cover up for all those who go in the kids' back and who do NOT pay.
Never ride in Hammarbybacken, go to Flottsbrobacken instead.

Hammarbybacken is a hill in central Stockholm. There are 5 runs one black, one red one blue and two green.

We have been to Hammarbybacken several times. The first time I was very surprised to see a ski slope in the middle of a capital!

Hammarbybacken is very small but has everything from green to black slopes. Because it is such a small hill, more experienced skiers will get tired of Hammarbybacken very quickly. We visited Hammarbybacken when our children first learned to ski and it was perfect then because they have two rollers.

The best thing about Hammarbybacken is the view. It is pretty cool to ski and at the same time look out over Stockholm. It feels like a very unique experience.

We have visited Hammarbybacken under various weather conditions and we have experienced that Hammarbybacken can be very icy. The snow begins to melt at Hammarbybacken earlier this year than the nearby slopes due to the fact that Hammarbybacken is in the middle of the town and is affected by the heat from nearby homes and roads.

You can compare Hammarbybacken with other ski slopes in Stockholm County eg. Väsjöbacken. What makes Hammarbybacken unique is how it is located in the center of town and close to municipal traffic. It is quite possible to go municipal if you want to ski in Hammarbybacken.

You can buy everything from a 1 hour ski pass to a season pass at the harbor village. A seasonal passport is cheaper than a season pass on ski resorts' other ski resorts, for example. Åre and Vemdalen. Unlike Åre and Vemdalen, even small children (0-6 years) must have ski passes to be able to go in Hammarbybacken. I think this is very poor done by skistar. There is a small cafe that serves affordable simple food.

Hammarbybacken is a unique ski slope that is truly an experience. It is a good slope for people who live in Stockholm because it is so central. If you want to visit Stockholm or live in Stockholm I recommend you to visit Hammarbybacken and buy a ski pass for 3-4 hours (it is enough) but if you do not live in Stockholm or do not have other reasons to visit Stockholm I would recommend instead to go to one of the nearby ski slopes eg Flottsbro or Väsjöbacken or even the ski resorts a little lower away eg. Kungsberget or Romme.

Plus
-utsikten.
- proximity to central Stockholm
- from green to black slopes

Minus
- can be icy
-a lot of people
- Even small children must have ski passes

Really bad. Going 2 hours car to ski on a study day, we look at the web in the morning and it says that the slopes and lifts are open. When you arrive, it is suddenly closed, even though the web says they have been open. Just go home now again. Useless ski resort
