Conveniently located by Hammarby Sjostad station, it’s a case of hopping on a train from the city centre and walking to the lifts with your skis under your arm. Thanks to the snow-cannon system there will be enough snow to open the slopes as soon as there have been a few days with temperatures five degrees below zero. There are four slopes in the complex named after ski resorts in northern Sweden: Åre, Vemdalen, Trysil and Sälen, and the centre has capacity for 2,400 people per hour.
First-timers can learn in the beginner ski-school and all ski equipment can be hired on site. Skiers and snowboarders can take a break from the action at ‘Cliff on the Slope’ which serves waffles, simple hot meals, buns and cakes.
