Björkliden

Björkliden Fjällby lies 250 km inside the Arctic Circle in majestic Swedish Lapland - Europe’s last true wilderness.  Björkliden Fjällby has been outdoors types for 100 years because of its wild setting and its winter and summer activities. Big it isn’t and this is where its charm lies.

In wintertime you can enjoy skiing of all types and some of the best heli-skiing anywhere; you can cover 5 mountains and 10,000 metres altitude in one day here. And at Svarta Björn (aptly translating as ‘Black Bear’) you can enjoy world class off-pist skiing. There are five ski lifts, including 2 for children and there is a kid’s ski school. In and around Björkliden Fjällby you can also enjoy dog-sledding, ice-fishing and snowmobile.
The incomparable Northern Lights dance and cascade above in the heavens in winter and the Midnight Sun brings constant daylight to the region for 100 days over the short summer. But what a summer it is and you can enjoy hiking, mountain-biking camping and fishing up here in Lapland. The air is pure, the lakes are crystal clear and the views are unspoiled by man’s touch. There is a choice of hotel, log cabin, ski lodge and mountain station accommodation and the local restaurants serve Norrland specialities.
Björkliden Fjällby – now you know too.

Come to the big outdoors

Depending on which time of year you come to Sweden think ‘outdoor activities’. In wintertime, Sweden is a haven for winter sports such as skiing, skating and ice climbing. While in spring and summertime you can enjoy trekking, mountaineering, white-water rafting, canoeing, sailing and many other adrenaline-filled pursuits.

Central and northern Sweden are dotted with winter and year-round resorts where you can enjoy skiing, dog-sledding, snow scooters, white water rafting and hiking, to mention just a few. From trekking in the serene wilderness that is Sarek National Park to pitching camp with the Sami, the indigenous people of Swedish Lapland, Sweden offers unique outdoors activities, landscapes and experiences.

Play golf in Sweden

Sweden has made a name for itself as a golfing nation with the success of golfing legend Annika Sörenstam and leading PGA Tour players Carl Petterson and Henrik Stenson. This is an achievement made more remarkable given Sweden’s long winters, but unsurprising given the quality of Sweden’s golf courses.
