A magical location with all-ability skiing, eclectic winter activities and a high chance of seeing the Northern Lights.

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 daytrip away.

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 not huge still gives some excellent skiing. Don't miss the opportunity of taking a dog sled ride across the frozen lake with Michael (from Fort William, Scotland) and Marie (Grenoble, France) who let us harness their dogs and explain about their charges. We took the opportunity to walk up to the hut, which is about 500 metres from the hotel to view the Northern Lights rather than spend a large amount of money going to the Aurora sky station. This is a great place for a three or four day stay and we would certainly come back again.

Brilliant resort for beginners and families.

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 the snowmobiling etc looks great. You can hire thick suits and boots to stay out all night watching for the Northern Lights and they also have a little hut with a heater up by the viewing area - which was better than the Sky Station I thought. An enjoyable mini break.
