BJÖRKLIDEN – A MOUNTAIN VILLAGE WITH ROYAL HISTORY

Few Swedish mountain resorts are entitled to the label ”classic”, and Björkliden is certainly one of those few. The first tourists arrived in the early days of the previous century. They travelled by train on the newly built railway and were pioneers in this, at that point in time, virtually unexplored part of the world. We see this as an important cultural heritage to cherish. We have delivered great experiences since 1926 and we strive to protect the small and genuine; with empathy, traditions and atmosphere; an oasis for body and soul; all year round.
