Tänndalen: Skiing, Cross-Country Skiing and Fjäll Biking

When planning a trip to Tänndalen, it’s worth starting with the activities. Options range from alpine skiing and cross-country skiing to fjäll biking and boat rentals. The differences between downhill runs, ski touring, cross-country trails and cycling routes can help you decide what to focus on during your trip.

Skiing: downhill runs and ski touring

Tänndalen’s alpine ski system includes 57 varied downhill runs above and below the tree line. Hamra Syd offers a different focus: it is a ski area in Tänndalen with no lifts or downhill runs. Instead, it focuses on ski touring and off-piste skiing. The key difference is the type of skiing: downhill runs in the alpine system, or touring and off-piste skiing in Hamra Syd. Seasonal operating details may change. If you visit Hamra Syd in winter, it’s a good idea to check the latest access and safety information in advance.

Cross-country skiing: specific trails and the wider network

Three cross-country trails start below Ski Lodge Tänndalen, with lengths of 1.7 km, 2.4 km and 3.5 km. This gives you three different distances to choose from; the longest trail is just over twice as long as the shortest. Seasonal grooming may vary, so check the latest conditions in advance.

The Funäsfjällen trail network includes a total of 300 kilometres of groomed cross-country trails through valleys and high-mountain terrain. This total applies to Funäsfjällen, not just the three trails below Ski Lodge Tänndalen. This makes it possible to distinguish the specific trail lengths in Tänndalen from the broader cross-country skiing network. In Tänndalen and Funäsfjällen, the trails offer good opportunities for training, exercise and relaxation.

Fjäll biking between open terrain and birch forest

Tänndalen Fjällcykelpark offers lift-assisted mountain biking across the bare fjäll and along trails through fjäll birch forest. This lets you experience two distinct landscapes: open fjäll terrain and paths through birch forest. The park currently has 14 trails and two skills areas. Lift operations are seasonal, and the number of trails may also change. Check the latest operating and trail information before making plans.

Water activities and plant diversity

Kayaks and canoes are available for hire at Svansjön and the Tännån. You can factor in both of these bodies of water and the choice between a kayak and a canoe when planning. Rentals are seasonal, and availability may change; check the latest information when making specific plans.

Nearby Hamrafjället offers another facet of nature. With more than 400 different plants, it is nicknamed Blomsterfjället (“Flower Mountain”). This makes plant diversity a distinctive part of Tänndalen’s character, alongside the outdoor activities in the mountains and on the water.

Getting here and finding a hotel
