The compact vertical profile and runs up to 1.7 kilometres long shape a day of skiing at Kungsberget. The piste map classifies the runs into four difficulty levels. A mogul run is also marked at Kopparbacken, where the undulating terrain differs from a uniformly groomed slope. Familjebacken, Gammelflacken and Busan are marked as individual runs on the piste map.

For the ascent, the resort map lists the Kungs8:an and Trästolen chairlifts, as well as drag lifts and conveyor belts. Björnbuseland and Nintendo Land are children’s areas; the ski school slope and Beginner’s Park offer additional places to practise. Two snowparks and Big Jump cater to guests looking for freestyle features.

The first lift was built in 1954; according to the resort, people had already been skiing on the mountain before then. The Branäs Group took over Kungsberget in 2004.

The resort lists several different dining options: Fröken Filipssons serves a lunch buffet, Sofia’s Pizzeria freshly baked pizza, and Karins Burgeria burgers; après-ski is also held there on Saturdays. Lodgebaren in the Ski Lodge serves lighter lunches and coffee, with outdoor terrace seating available when the weather allows. Fröken Filipssons has an outdoor terrace and a playroom as part of the restaurant; Sofia’s Pizzeria is one floor below. At Lodgebaren, guests order using the QR codes on their tables.
