In Nordbackarna, an instructor accompanies the morning skiing session. Participants must be confident on red and black runs and have experience using a drag lift on black terrain. A valid lift pass is required; breakfast indoors is included afterwards.

Västbacken offers something different: a family slope and a self-timer. The ski school complements the terrain with group and private lessons for a range of ages and ability levels; the programme also includes snowboard lessons.

At the cross-country stadium, Barnens Vasalopp follows an easy, marked children’s loop. The route is chosen according to age and ability. Children up to 12 years old can take part and choose the route that suits them on site. Everyone receives a certificate and blueberry soup.

The guided tour to the summit starts after regular lift operations have ended. Participants must be at least 16 years old and able to ski blue and red runs. Off-piste experience is recommended. Before setting off, participants are briefed on the equipment and how to use it. The ascent is made with climbing skins attached to the skis; a hot drink is served at the summit before the descent begins.

You can book guided activities and children’s competitions through the Idre Fjäll activity booking service.
