Idre Fjäll has a genuine mountain pasture with old traditional cabins, we call it Fäboden. There are also friendly animals such as goats, cows, rabbits, geese, and chickens. In the summer you can come by and pet the animals while enjoying a freshly made waffle with ice cream at the Fäbodcaféet.
Fäboden is just a short walk from the Square and is free to visit. The animals are outside between 9 am and 5 pm every day in the summer.
The mountain pasture farm is located beside Västbacken, just above the middle station.
You can walk here from the Square at Idre Fjäll.
At Fäboden, you can enjoy a game of croquet, kubb or boules with family and friends while enjoying an ice cream and taking in the rolling mountain landscape surrounding Fäboden.
Here live our seven roosters: Glader, Toker, Butter, Blyger, Kloker, Trötter and Prosit. Their names comes from the fairytale of Snow White. They are Silverudd's Blue, a hardy Swedish heritage breed that can live to be 10–15 years old. Silverudd's Blue hens are best known for laying beautiful green eggs, although our roosters do not lay eggs, of course!
Meet our two rabbits, Snöboll and Snuttis. They are 1 and 3 years old, and rabbits often live to be around 10 years old. Rabbits are curious and social animals. They enjoy eating hay, grass and other plants. Their long ears give them excellent hearing and help them stay cool on warm days.
Fäboden is the home of our three American Buff geese: Tant Grön, Tant Brun and Tant Gredelin. They are 4 years old and can live for up to 30 years. Geese love swimming, grazing on grass and spending time with their flock. They are also very alert and will sound the alarm if they notice something unusual. Because of this, geese have often been used as "watchdogs".
At Fäboden you'll find our goats Toker, the one with the curly fringe, and Sotis. They are about 1 year old, but goats can live up to 15 years. Goats are curious and social animals. They especially enjoy eating leaves, shrubs and other plants. Goats are also well known escape artists and will happily find their way through a fence if given the chance!
Freja and Fröken Apelsin are almost 1 year old and are still heifers, which means they have not yet had their first calves. They are Swedish Mountain Cattle, a traditional Swedish breed known for its calm temperament. Swedish Mountain Cattle can live for up to 20 years.Cattle mainly eat grass and hay. They have four stomachs and chew their food several times – this is called chewing the cud. If they come up to the fence and seem interested, you are welcome to pet them.
