Welcome to Riksgränsen

Far up north, in the northwestern corner of the country, mighty mountains and crystal-clear lakes stretch out beneath the glow of the midnight sun. During summer, Riksgränsen reveals itself in a completely unique way. Here, you’ll discover breathtaking views, hidden deer stands, and endless opportunities for hiking, cycling, and immersing yourself in untouched wilderness.

The sense of freedom you feel up here — surrounded by quiet trails, pure mountain air, and deep tranquillity — is hard to match anywhere else.

If you’ve never experienced Riksgränsen during summer, a whole new adventure is waiting.
And if you have — then you already know what we mean.

Rooms and Accomodation

For the first time ever, Riksgränsen opens its doors to an exclusive summer season. Imagine first-class accommodation at the iconic Meteorologen Ski Lodge, transformed for the warmer months into a vibrant Summer Lodge, offering a blend of relaxed elegance, well-being, and holistic experiences. This isn’t just any holiday — it’s the Arctic’s answer to laid-back luxury. If you prefer simplicity and a direct connection to nature, Riksgränsen’s campsite welcomes you with open arms. Nestled by Vassijaure Lake and overlooking the entire resort, it’s the perfect base for a grounded escape. Ready to take it to the next level? Head to Låktatjåkko Mountain Station — a legendary destination for adventurers since 1939. Perched at 1,228 metres above sea level between two peaks, it’s Sweden’s highest mountain station. Located 14 km from Riksgränsen and 9 km from Björkliden, getting there is a journey in itself — and spending a night? That’s the kind of experience you don’t just do — you brag about it.

We came to Riksgränsen for some late-season skiing and it completely exceeded our expectations. The area offered stunning mountain views, and off-piste runs. After long days on the slopes, it was amazing to come back to the hotel — warm, welcoming, with great food and a well-earned sauna. The staff were super helpful and always had great tips for exploring the area. Can’t wait to return for more mountain adventures! Coree – 28 June 2023
