Iconic skiing in Riksgränsen at Sweden's first ski school - now legendary freeskiing.

In the early 1900s, the community of Riksgränsen was dismantled. The amount of snow was simply too much. Today, the precipitation is our signature and attracts skiers from all over the world. On a good day, there is no ski resort in Sweden that can match the skiing in Riksgränsen.

What makes skiing in Riksgränsen unique?

  • The freeskiing capital of Scandinavia - A unique playground where natural jumps, ravines and rolling bare rock create endless opportunities for professionals and curious families alike.

  • A legendary atmosphere - Here, historic pioneering spirit and modern, international ski culture meet in a community that cannot be found anywhere else.

  • Skiing in the midnight sun- When other resorts close, Riksgränsen comes alive. Experience the unique combination of night skiing under the precursor of the midnight sun in May.

  • Powder in bulk - Riksgränsen in Lapland has the highest annual precipitation in Sweden, and being above the Arctic Circle means lots of powder snow!
