Lobby bars

The heart after today's adventure

See opening hours

Welcome to the new living room of Riksgränsen

Here, the line between indoors and outdoors blurs, and the atmosphere is as relaxed as it is lively. When our local guest DJs spin records, the lobby bar transforms into the most comfortable hangout in the mountains.

When the spring-winter sun comes out, the choice is simple - we move out to the Pelican Shelf. It's our sunny oasis facing the slopes, the perfect place for an After Ski that never wants to end. With a glass in hand, the music in the back and the view of the skiers sweeping past, Pelikanhyllan is the place where we celebrate life and the best ride of the day together.

Arctic Mixology

Signature drinks from the Lobby Bar - Arctic craftsmanship in every glass

Welcome to land in the Lobby Bar. Here we've created a drinks list that celebrates our place on the map, where mountain produce meets classic mixology with a modern twist.

We work with our own infusions, local distilleries and berries directly from the northern wilderness to bring you flavors that can't be found anywhere else.

Whether you want to celebrate the day's powder run with a crisp margarita, warm up with a deep and complex coffee drink, or just enjoy a craft that's taken time to perfect, we've blended something special for you.

Cocktails - 179 kr

Midnight sun

A northern tribute to the classic. The depth of bourbon meets the sweetness of red vermouth, balanced with fresh malic acid. The drink gets a unique character from the splash of orange bitters and is topped with Kiruna Bryggerier's full-bodied Tannator Bock. A woody and powerful flavor experience that is garnished with cherry and fresh apple.

Blueberry Margarita

A lively and berry twist on a favorite. The base is our house-infused blueberry tequila, which is joined by local Blueberry Pie liqueur from Norrbotten. Fresh lime and smooth agave create a perfect balance between acidity and sweetness. The glass is rimmed with our own blueberry salt for the ultimate wilderness feel.

Torneträsk

A deep and powerful tribute to the lake. Lingonberry rum and blackcurrant liqueur meet fresh malic acid for a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. A berry and rich flavor experience topped with blackberry foam.

The gold wagon

The perfect bridge between coffee and cocktail. Elegant cognac and dark coffee liqueur meet the intensity of espresso sugar shot and a hint of chocolate bitters. An unexpected freshness from lime and bubbly ginger beer takes the drink to new heights. Smells magically of orange zest and roasted coffee beans.

The North

Our version of the classic Japanese loafers, but with its heart in the north. Here, ”Lingari” - a Swedish, lingonberry-based aperitif - meets the sweetness of Norrbotten's rhubarb liqueur and crisp malic acid. A beautifully red and well-balanced cocktail that is stirred ice cold and served with a luxurious maraschino cherry.

Afterski at the Pelican Shelf

Hanging out in the sun at Pelikan

When the spring-winter sun finally decides to stop and the daylight begins to soften the slopes, something magical happens in the valley. The shovels go out, we shovel out the Pelican shelf and suddenly Riksgränsen has its most beautiful place.

Here you land in the middle of the action, with the mountain peaks as a backdrop and the music as a soft bass line in the background. The Pelican Shelf is the place for that boundless hangout where the hours just flow away. Order a refreshing drink, sit back and feel the sun warm your face as you watch the last skier of the day make a jump at Uffe's wall.

Sometimes a local DJ takes over the controls, delivering analog beats and lounge vibes that melt into the sun's rays. It's After Ski without the stress - just ice-cold drinks, good friends and that unbeatable feeling of being exactly where you're supposed to be. The Pelican Shelf is not just a patio, it's a lifestyle. See you in the sun!
