Björkliden Fjällby

Few Swedish ski resorts have the right to call itself a classic. Björkliden Fjällby is definitely one of those few. In the heart of Lapland. Real snow on real mountains. Far from icy patches, snow and crowds. Björkliden is the real thing.

This famous mountain area has been a popular destination for one hundred years. Here in ancient Lapland visitors are surrounded by spectacular scenery. 

In the summertime Björkliden is a Mecca for mountain hikers, displaying unique high latitude Nordic flora and fauna.
