A brief overview

It may not have a huge ski area but the personal service you get in Vemdalen, together with a special children's ski area, award winning ski school and winter activities for all ages means you'll be hard pressed to find a more family and beginner friendly resort than this. We love it - it's quiet, it's off the beaten track and it's very, very special. The compact ski centre sits at the base of a network of gentle, uncrowded runs, never too far from the high standard cabins and hotel. There's no need for a bus in this resort. Vemdalen has ploughed a great deal of investment into its ski area recently, resulting in new slopes and lifts and a terrain park. For a change of scenery, the neighbouring ski areas of Bjornrike and Klovsjo/Storhogna, covered on the same lift pass, are both served by a bus service. For a safe, fun family ski holiday or confidencebuilding first trip to the slopes, Vemdalen is just the thing.
