Riksgränsen – Swedish Lapland
The World’s most northern ski resorts
At the top of Swedish Lapland, by the Norwegian border you find Riksgränsen – the World’s most northern ski resort. Nearby is Björkliden and these two ski resorts are known as fantastic skiing and actually Sweden’s best off-piste mountains.
Every winter there’s a huge amount of snow and it’s possible to do heli-skiing and guided summit tours. After a fun day on the mountain an afterski or nice dinner doesn’t sound so bad. Both Riksgränsen and Björkliden offer several restaurants and bars with local food & beverages.
You don’t have to choose between the two mountains – lift pass gives you access to both Riksgränsen and Björkliden and you can ride the shuttle bus for free on presentation of a valid lift card. Transport departs from Björkliden up to Sweden’s highest mountain station Låktatjåkka. They also offer winter activities such as dog sledding, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing or cave tours and nice hiking in summer. Link to Abisko
