About VemdalenYou'd be hard-pressed to find a friendlier resort with better service than Sweden's Vemdalen. Linked with Bjornrike and Klövsjö, Vemdalen is a family and beginner paradise. There's a renowned ski school, and the majority of the skiing is on wide, gentle slopes. There's also an easy network of uncrowded slopes that all lead back to the same spot at the ski base, giving learners that extra bit of confidence, and a dedicated kids zone. Between the linked resorts there are also lots of cruisers for intermediates to enjoy and some fast blacks and tough mogul trails. You can jump on a pair of cross-country skis and explore the mountains, open countryside and villages surrounding Vemdalen. Two fun parks should keep freestyle boarders happy, and you can get maximum slope time with 10 floodlit slopes. The resort is compact and the trails well connected, making it easy to get around. Bjornrike and Klövsjö are covered by the same ski pass, and easily accessed for a little variety. Après-ski is relaxed, low-key, and caters to families with child-friendly facilities. For beginners
Vemdalen is perfectly suited to beginners. You'll feel as comfortable and confident as possible when you take your first wobbly turns here. The long, wide slopes are well planned and designed to lead back to one central meeting point at the base of the slopes. Vemdalen's ski school has a great reputation and has talented English-speaking instructors. For intermediates
The ski terrain offers great intermediate skiing, with 10 lifts and 13 pistes in Vemdalen and 8 lifts and 15 pistes in Bjornrike, more suited to improvers and intermediate skiers. Vemdalen also offers floodlit skiing two evenings per week until the end of March. For the advanced
