250 km north of the Arctic Circle, beautifully situated among towering mountains and magnificent scenery, lies Björkliden. 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.
You know that feeling when the darkness finally returns after the midnight sun? Well, we’re there now, and that means the Northern Lights season is here to stay! We’ve already seen the first green veils dancing over Lapporten and Lake Torneträsk.
It’s hard to find a better spot, with so little light pollution and those vast views. Keep your eyes peeled!
Hello fellow golfers!
We are so happy to finally welcome you to the golf course here in Björkliden, even though this year’s season start is a little different. Unfortunately, the winter has been unusually harsh on our course, which has resulted in a late start and some challenges with the greens. But we are working incredibly hard every day to get the course back into top condition!
SJ has now released tickets for travel over Christmas, New Year’s, and the winter sports holidays. You can now book SJ’s night trains for trips to Björkliden and Riksgränsen until March 8, 2026.
The climate also affects our ski resort in Björkliden.
While we still experience snow-secure winters, we’re seeing greater variations in snowfall amounts and timing between seasons.
This winter brought heavy precipitation, and by the season’s end we had 22,000 m³ of snow in Teknikbacken. We’re now preserving that snow over the summer for the 2026 season.
By storing the snow, we aim to secure our opening date and ensure quality, slopeside skiing—regardless of weather conditions.
Okay, you can stop waiting. The Northern Lights season has kicked off for real! It’s now the green, dancing lights are starting to appear in the arctic sky.
If you want to see them for real, without a bunch of light pollution, this is the ultimate spot. Our legendary location at “the end of the world” gives you a front-row seat to nature’s craziest light show.
We are delighted to announce that the iconic Meteorologen Ski Lodge in Riksgränsen will open its doors for the summer season, welcoming guests from June 23rd to September 14th, 2025.
In winter, the Meteorologen bar is an exceptional meeting place for skiers and snowboarders from all over the world. The bar is designed like a cozy living room, making it easy to meet and mingle.
Meteorologen also welcomes external dinner guests. On some days, it may be fully booked, but you can check for available seats through this link.
Every Thursday from 7 PM until late, we’re turning up the vibes in the Lobby Bar with amazing cocktails, great atmosphere, and the best hangout spot in the mountains. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic or a new favorite, we’ve got you covered.
Stop by, raise a glass, and kick off the evening in style! 🍹🔥
The dream of a piping hot pizza after a long day on the mountain is now a reality! Starting February 21, you can order pizza at Lapplandia – perfect for both hungry ski legs and pizza lovers.

Rooms & Accommodation
The resort in Björkliden lies beautifully at the edge of the mountain. Here, you can choose if you want to stay at the 4-star Hotel Fjället, be directly connected to the ski area in your own cabin in Kåppas Cabin Village, or at the distinguished Gammelgården Ski Lodge. For a large family, a group of friends or a company retreat, we recommend our exclusive log cabins in Solhyllan, and for an experience out of the ordinary, we recommend a night at Låktatjåkko Mountain Lodge. Since 1939, Låktatjåkko has been a popular travel destination among hikers and skiers, and for good reason-the mountain lodge is spectacularly situated at 1228 meters above sea level, in the col between two peaks and 9km away from Björkliden.
In Björkliden, we celebrate and honor our northern food traditions but have added a modern twist to it with a contemporary kitchen. Here, you will find restaurants offering something for all tastes.

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.
AMAZING LOCATION! WINTER WONDERLAND! Absolutely beautiful place! Very unique experience of a winter wonderland. My wife and I loved our stay at the Hotel Fjället. The staff are great and so is the food and service. We especially loved the night snowmobile trip with our guide Arina! Highly recommend.Adam – 18 January 2024
