Frequently Asked Questions

Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions before visiting Idre Fjäll. Whether you’re planning a ski holiday, looking for details about accommodation, lifts, restaurants or activities, this page gives you quick and reliable guidance. We update the information regularly to ensure you have the latest details for the season.

Questions and answers ahead of the winter season

As the holidays approach, we receive many questions about snow conditions, opening hours, and skiing. Here we’ve gathered answers to the most common questions right now. The information is updated continuously, but for the latest status, please check Open lifts, slopes & tracks and follow us on social media for updates directly from the mountain.

Snow & slope status

Which slopes are open?

Starting December 1, Turisten 1 will be open to the public. Thanks to several days of good weather and snow production, we are now working to open more slopes soon. For the latest information, check Open lifts, slopes & trails.

When will the entire resort open?

We will open more slopes and cross-country trails as soon as conditions allow. You’ll always find the latest information on idrefjall.se/en/weather and on our social media channels, where we post regular updates.

Why can’t you say when the slopes will open?

Snow production is entirely weather-dependent. Temperature, wind, and humidity all affect how much snow we can make – and where it lands. In strong winds, it can be difficult to produce snow where it’s needed, which means our plans may change at short notice.

Will you be open during Christmas and New Year?

Our goal is always to have as much open as possible. We communicate transparently and continuously about the status of both slopes and trails on idrefjall.se/en/weather.

Cross-country trails & snow conditions

Which cross-country tracks are open?

For the latest status, please check Open lifts, slopes & trails. The weather forecast predicts natural snowfall in the coming days, and we hope to extend the trails soon.

Why do other resorts have open cross-country tracks when you don’t?

We can only base our operations on the weather conditions here at Idre Fjäll. Temperature, wind, and humidity vary between locations, affecting both snowmaking and snow storage. We're happy to have offered ski training in several disciplines since October 17.

Why don’t you prioritize the cross-country trails?

We’ve had cross-country skiing available since October 17 thanks to stored snow. However, most of our trails require natural snowfall, so we’re dependent on it arriving.

Why don’t you use the stored snow for the cross-country trails?

We have a limited amount of stored snow, allocated for three arenas. Now that natural snow has started to fall, and more is expected, transporting stored snow would damage the surface before the trails can be properly prepared. That’s why we’re focusing on working with the natural snow available.

Why do you focus so much on competition tracks and elite training?

Stored snow allows us to open early, for everyone. Since October 18, we’ve offered skiing in three different arenas, open to the public as well.

Why don’t you expand the snowmaking system at the cross-country stadium?

A new snowmaking system is a major investment. We are exploring that possibility, but even an expanded system depends on the right weather conditions to operate effectively.

Who owns Idre Fjäll?

Skiing

Is the skiing good at Idre Fjäll?

We believe that we have fantastic and varied skiing here at Idre Fjäll. Since we have skiing in all directions, you can always ski on the side of the mountain where the weather and snow conditions are currently the best.

How many ski slopes do you have?

What are the prices for lift passes and trail passes?

How do you purchase lift passes?

Here you can purchase all our different passes.

Can I rent equipment from you?

Why are the lifts sometimes not operating?

Most of the time, the weather is on our side, but sometimes it can get too cold or too windy, and we may need to temporarily close a lift for safety reasons. If we experience prolonged technical issues with a lift, we always follow SLAO's regulations for compensation.

Why aren't the cross-country trails always groomed?

We groom our cross-country trails every day. This usually happens at night because it's important for the trails to freeze without anyone skiing on them, ensuring they are as good and durable as possible. However, if it snows or is very windy, the trails can disappear shortly after the grooming machine has been there.

When does Idre Fjäll open?

We’re opening our first slopes on December 1, 2025! Our first cross-country trail for the season opened already in October. Keep an eye on Open lifts, slopes & trails for the latest updates on what’s currently open.
