Gällö: Skiing, cross-country skiing and Lake Revsund

Gällö offers several distinct highlights to help you plan your trip: Mickelbacken, a municipal ski facility; cross-country ski trails in the town; and hiking trails and recreational activities in the surrounding area. Lake Revsund offers activities on the water and on the ice. If you are looking for a hotel, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay: winter sports, hiking or time by the lake. Norrtåg’s train stop is also worth considering when planning your journey.

Winter sports in Gällö

Mickelbacken is a municipal ski facility in Gällö, operated by Gällö SK. Gällö SK Alpina runs a ski school for children and adults. Participation requirements and seasonal dates may change; check them in advance if lessons are part of your plans.

The ski rental service offers equipment for the whole family for snowboarding or alpine skiing. Availability and rental terms may change, so it is worth confirming them before you arrive. The ski school and rental service answer different planning questions: for the school, age group and dates matter; for rentals, the sport you want to do and current availability are key.

Gällö also has cross-country ski trails, maintained through the efforts of local clubs and starting below the respective station. They are a separate winter sports option in addition to the municipal ski facility. The stated starting point and club maintenance help you find your way; trail conditions may change.
