Find your home in the mountains and plan your trip

As the polar night creeps in and the mountains don the fiery colors of fall and the crisp frost of late fall and early winter, time stands still for a moment. After a day filled with magnificent sights and fresh Arctic air, you deserve a place where your shoulders relax and a sense of calm settles in.

Whether you’re seeking the comfort of a classic Hotel Fjället with sweeping views, or want to curl up in an authentic mountain cabin with its own sauna, your home in the wilderness awaits you here. And the journey here? It’s an adventure in itself—whether you’re gliding through the mountain landscape on rails or winding your way along the magnificent mountain roads.

Unique beauty

The seasons in Björkliden - Nature's great spectacle.

Northern lights - when the night sky dances

From the first dark night of fall to the arrival of spring, we have a front row seat to the most beautiful light show in the universe. Seeing the Northern Lights, or as some call it, the Aurora Borealis, blazing in green and purple is a life-changing experience.

Winter & Polar night

As the sun rests below the horizon, the mountain is enveloped in a mysterious, blue- and pink-split twilight. It is a time of lighted candles, silence and an almost unreal stillness where the snow sparkles under the stars.

Spring winter - the fifth season

The time that we mountain dwellers love the most. The days are long, the sun is warm on your face and you can enjoy skiing in your shirt sleeves in the morning and a coffee in a snow sofa in the afternoon.

Summer & Midnight Sun

When the sun never sets and the sky glows at night. Experience the freedom of hiking across golden peaks in the middle of the night and feel the energy of a landscape that never sleeps.

Autumn - colorful landscapes

An explosion of red, orange and gold. The air is high and clear, the ground smells of moss and berries, and the hiking is at its most intense and beautiful setting.

Social activities

Community and friendly competitions—indoors and outdoors

The evening doesn’t have to end when the day’s adventures wrap up. Outside, the mini-golf course and the bocce court are waiting to crown a winner before the snow arrives. For those who want to escape the wind and weather, there are board games in the lobby and the chance to challenge friends to a round of classic pub games at Pub Rallaren.

Whether you're looking to hang out and socialize indoors or outdoors, we have social activities that will keep the fun going with laughter, games, and a great atmosphere.
