Björkliden 100 years

One hundred years of mountain experiences

In 1926, the Gammelgården inn and two annex buildings began to be used as a mountain facility in Björkliden for tourism. But Björkliden station was built as early as 1902 with the construction of the ore railway between Kiruna and Narvik. Since then, this place has offered experiences, competitions and community in many forms. One thing is certain - Björkliden is and has been loved by many, and many share the feeling that there is something special about Björkliden that can't really be put into words. It's like the soul has simply found a home here.

Now we are celebrating 100 years of experiences and for at least another 100 years.
