At the gateway to Lapland, Björkliden sits 200km north of the Arctic Circle, on the edge of Abisko National Park - one of the best places in the world to experience the Northern Lights. With views over frozen lakes and the U-shaped Lapporten Mountain, ski holidays in Björkliden feel truly special.

The ski area’s confidence-building slopes are ideal for families and first-timers, or there are some steep blacks for the more experienced. For a greater sense of adventure, the experts in our office suggest hiring a guide for ski-touring, off-piste terrain and heli-skiing.

Off the slopes, there’s more adventure to be had, with dogsledding and snowmobile tours to one of Sweden's highest mountain lodges, as well as trips to one of the country’s longest cave systems. For an extra special stay, the world-famous ICEHOTEL® is an easy day trip away.

"Björkliden really does offer something for everyone - whether you’re looking for an unforgettable winter experience, extreme challenges to test your skills, or to fulfil a lifetime dream and view the northern lights."

Spot on in terms of its recommendation by your team. Provided family-friendly skiing and opportunity to try other activities.

Quiet and relaxing with just enough easy skiing to pass the time and enjoy the outdoors and views. Away from it all simple holiday village. Probably more geared up for summer camps than a serious winter sports centre. A good, well run hotel and small general store and ski shop. Ideal for casual skiing on quiet slopes, no queues anywhere. Impressive views and Northern Lights viewing hut above hotel…

Don't be put off by the exterior of the Hotel Fjallet - inside it is warm and welcoming with the permanent log fire burning in the lounge. The staff are lovely and the food is of a very high standard. While the rooms are possibly a little spartan they are clean and of an acceptable size. The ski run is directly outside the hotel and a button lift takes you to the rest of the slopes, which although…

We stayed here over Feb half term which luckily was the week BEFORE the Swedish 'sport week''. The slopes were empty and the T- bars, although cold and quite long, quick to access. The staff were very friendly, and it had great ski -in /ski out. Good ski hire equipment. It is a very small ski area. I suggest buying your ski pass out there when you decide how many days you actually want to ski, as …
