skiing and snowshoeing

The mountains and the frozen river makes for excellent ways of experiencing nature in the winter. In fact, cross country skiing has an extremely long tradition in the area and a common way for locals as well as visitors to enjoy a day out.

There are plenty of ways to enjoy yourself on a pair of skis. There are two downhill skiing resorts, where it’s possible to rent downhill skiing gear, one in Ammarnäs and one in Nalovardo outside Sorsele. With a pair of classic cross-country skis you could go on one of the well-kept groomed trails around Ammarnäs and Sorsele. Snow shoeing is even more easy than skiing – if you can walk, you can do snow shoes – and is suitable for everyone.

If you feel more adventurous, there’s also a possibility to go ski touring. There are marked trails to follow, like the long Vindelälven route, but our ski guides knows their way around and could take you on a real adventure. Maybe some advanced alpine climbing, or going for a calmer cross-country experience tracking animals. Your guide can adapt the tour to suit you and your level of experience!
