The terrain of the Branäsberg is a challenge for snowboarders. Or you try your hand at Telemark - the classic downhill style. Branäs is also open until 7 p.m. and floodlit in the evening.

Off the beaten track, cross-country trails and ski slopes, we explore the deeply snow-covered forests of Värmland on snowshoes in Jack London's footsteps. Snowshoeing is not difficult to learn. We discover the winter forest on various routes with different levels of difficulty, which we adapt to your wishes, and go on a trail search with you.
Winter hikes
Experience the winter forest with us on an easy to moderate hike with great views over the Klarälvtal. You only need sturdy shoes and weatherproof clothing and you're ready to go. We take care of everything else.
