Visitor Reviews of Riksgränsen


J.L from SWEDEN writes:

Riksgränsen is the most northerly ski resort in the world! The pists, slopes, light and wide open spaces here are well known. Even though it's some 500 km's away from the Tärna mountains , It's part of the Tärnaby-Hemavan ski resort companies. This means you can by your season pass in Tärnaby to cover Tärnaby-Hemavan & Riksgransen. So the season starts in Tärnaby at the end of October/ early November and Finishes in Rikgransen about the 19th June ! You work it out ... that's a lot of weeks ski'ing or boarding !
The ski lifts at Riksgränsen are close to the hotel and take you to a choice of 34 different decents. offpist options, peak trips that give you a thrill, Midnight Sun-skiing that remains a memory for ever and some wonderful heli-skiing.
Tip. Start Tärnaby/Hemavan ( www.tarnabylapland.com )in February until late April and and then head North to Riksgransen ( www.riksgransen.nu ) for May and June!
