Trillevallen – A peaceful and authentic skiing gem

Chairlift and cozy restaurant for tired legs

The vertical drop in Trillevallen is 250 meters. When the kids and your legs start to get tired, you can take a break at Ripan restaurant, which is centrally located by the slopes. Accommodation options are right next to the lifts, ranging from Trillevallen Högfjällshotell to cozy apartments. Trillevallen also offers 120 km of cross-country trails. In addition, you can take day trips to the nearby mountain villages of Vålådalen, Ottsjö, and Edsåsdalen, or even all the way to Åre.

“Trillevallen is perfect for those looking for a cozy, classic mountain hotel with great skiing opportunities nearby. A hotel where, after a sauna and shower, you can enjoy a nice dinner in the evening and then gather in the lounge to talk about the day’s experiences, play billiards and darts. It’s easy to take the train to Undersåker, where you can be picked up by the hotel’s minibus for a short ride to Trillevallen’s high mountain hotel.”

Large and small destinations for a ski holiday in Sweden

A large or small ski resort can have different advantages depending on the skiing experience your family desires. A smaller place is more manageable, often with fewer guests and more space on the slopes, as well as peace and quiet when taking the lift. If the children are old enough to ski on their own, it is often easy to agree on a central meeting point without worrying about them getting lost along the way. This could be places like Trillevallen, Bydalsfjällen, Lofsdalen, or Storlien. If you’re looking for a wide range of activities besides skiing, then the city of Östersund would suit you. If you’re seeking even smaller, cozy, and affordable options, you might consider Kullstabacken in Hammarstrand, which has a nearby hotel and cabin village, or Stora Blåsjön in Frostviken, with hotels, cabins, and camping facilities nearby.

A larger place offers more options, more varied skiing, and if your family has completely different preferences for skiing and activities, this can be an advantage, allowing both beginners and experienced skiers to have a good experience. The larger ski resorts have more facilities, including indoor activities if needed due to the weather. Among the larger ski resorts in Jämtland Härjedalen are Åre, where the areas of Åre Björnen and Duved-Tegefjäll are the most family-friendly. Vemdalen and Funäsfjällen also offer a very wide range of slopes and facilities that cater to both beginners and experienced skiers.
