It all started 1965 when depopulation affected the Idre area due to a declining job market. A foundation was established and a ski resort was planned on the mountain of Gränjesvålen. The project was soon known as the "communal madness" among the locals. But 50 years on, what started as a crazy idea turned out to be a success story.
From the opening 1968 until today Idre Fjäll has grown to be one of the most popular ski resorts in Sweden, winning several awards such as "Ski resort of the year" in 2016/2017.
Idre Fjäll was the first in Europe to build a four-chair lift.
Idre Fjäll is home to Chocken – the steepest slope in the Nordic region with a gradient of 46°. Do you dare?
Idre Fjäll hosts no less than three World Cup competitions yearly – in ski cross, speed skiing, and, from 2020, puckelpiste.
Idre Fjäll is Sweden's most southerly Sami village, and reindeer are everywhere.
