Vemdalen reviews

The bus timetable is full of sh*t the buses don’t come on time they come like an hour late. we waited for the bus to arrive TWO TIMES and it didn’t come on neither of the times. on THIRD TIME it came when we had already left because we had been waiting for 50 minutes. overall this place could be nice IF we could get to out destinations.

Is satisfied after sports vacation Week 9 2026, partly thanks to good weather. Stayed in Vemdalsskalet, 5 ski days there in the shell, went to Björnrike with the ski bus 3 days. Not been in Klövsjö / Storhogna.

Positively:

-Mostly clearly reasonable lift queues in Vemdalsskalet, more queue in Björnrike but still manageable for being v9
-Not too crowded on the slopes to be v9
-Okay surface on the slopes and usually not very steep (thanks to good weather)
-That the same lift pass is valid in all 3 systems and that there is a ski bus between them
-Long runs, especially in Björnrike
-Good food shop
-Easy to get there and get around the place without a car
-Cosy feeling despite big place
-Quiet and family friendly place

Negatives:

-Unreliable ski buses that are often delayed
-In Björnrike there is some lift queuing especially when the only chairlift is out of order, which is quite often.
-Rather boring park in Skalet but Björnrike is better

Good place even week 9 when it is most like people, recommend!

Good initiative to have a "traffic controller" in the lift queue. It will be good for everyone.

Skistar is a complete joke when it comes to safety etc. I got 3 fractures on my leg after falling off the lift. Pga pure rama skating rink. When disembarking and icy tracks . I was picked up on a scooter had to sit behind the driver down to the infirmary .they probably found the cruciate ligament .got Alvedon and some painkillers prescribed. Nothing about going to the hospital . Had taken out extra accident insurance through
after almost 2 years we have not received any compensation. They do not compensate for burns and scars etc. the compensation level is the lowest you can get so never take out insurance through skistar.

I always go off-piste. But when I got to Vemdalsskalet there was absolutely nothing to ride! Despite 150 cm of snow depth, it is rocky everywhere. NEVER GO HERE

Good place, good slopes because it is In Sweden, you don't have the highest drop height, but still good slopes

Fat bad park. Extremely long queues and bad food. Toddlers everywhere. I'm talking about the vemdal shell. Björnrike is the best

Skiers who usually drive down to the Alps.
Have now also tested most of the villages in Sweden.
Most recently we are in Björnrike Vemdalen. Four days week 10.
Really pleasantly surprised by good skiing. Ok après ski
Completely weatherless outdoor life.
Today we tested the Vemdalsskalet, less impressed. Badly prepared slopes, rubbish food shorter slopes.
Most negative are the distances, lack of nightlife, the bus pass does not apply to a four-day lift pass, parking fee at the lift, very strange.
Positively, the skiing in Björnrike weather.
Sold next. Week 12.

Was up in Björnrike with the family Thursday-Sunday and downloaded the Skistar app and bought a lift pass - very easy !!

However, I am extremely disappointed when I already before looking at their website and it says that all slopes are open and then when you stand in the lift you discover that it is not possible to go all the way up (several lifts) and that a couple of slopes are completely suspended on the upper part !!!

Had it been difficult to give us customers that info ?? It may be of interest to know this BEFORE you buy a lift pass !!!

Paying full price for something but not getting access to everything is on the verge of fraud !!! Think it's really, really ugly !!

Skistar has a rather disgraced reputation and I think that something like this hinders it greatly.

Has been traveling for many years only in Vemdalen. Above all, I love Björnrike with sun-facing slopes, perfect for comfortable carving on good surfaces that are seldom broken and a reasonable number of people on the slopes. The best are of course the weeks before the sports holiday (as now) when the snow is perfect and it is sparse with people on the slopes. The restaurants on the slopes are of a high standard, but the options could be even more. Local ICA also has a good selection and overall a damn good atmosphere!
