Welcome to Riksgränsen

Welcome to Riksgränsen, Sweden’s northernmost and most legendary ski resort. Nowhere else will you be so pampered in terms of feeling of freedom, natural snow and varied skiing terrain, on both the piste and off-piste. If you haven’t been here already, you really have something to look forward to. If you have been here, you know what we are talking about. On a good day, there is no ski resort in Sweden that can match skiing in Riksgränsen.

Hotel Riksgränsen is the heart of the village, centrally located only 100 meters from the ski system and just as close to the train station. At Hotell Riksgränsen you live comfortably in our hotel or ski in ski out rooms, or in a self-catered apartments! Here you will also find Restaurant Lapplandia, the bar Grönan, sports shop and Relaxen SPA & Sauna with views of the Lapland mountain world and Lake Vassijaure. The meteorologist ski lodge is located directly adjacent to the hotel in the old customs house, which after a careful renovation has become a cozy and cozy ski lodge.

The campsite in Riksgränsen is beautifully situated next to Lake Vassijaure and with a view of the entire facility. For an experience beyond the ordinary, we recommend a night at Låktatjåkko Mountain Station. Låktatjåkko has been a popular destination for hikers and skiers since 1939. The mountain station is Sweden’s highest located at 1228 m above sea level and is spectacularly located in a pass between two mountain peaks, 14 km from Riksgränsen and 9km from Björkliden.

Vi gick till Riksgransen för den tidiga under skidsäsongen. Hotellet har en massa att erbjuda. En mysig lounge, en bra restaurang (utmärkta bufféer), ett litet spa och många andra faciliteter. Det är en riktig village i en byggnad. Personalen var mycket vänlig och hjälpsam. Kommer definitivt komma tillbaka nästa år! Ruwan – 31 March 2017
