Holmenkollen

A route for enthusiasts and training freaks

If the trail is groomed, this is a great long training session. But it is also well worth a full day out, since his route is one of the area’s most beautiful.

Start at Vålådalen Mountain Station. Ski across the meadow and cross the River Vålån. After 2 km of easy uphill you can breathe out for a bit, before the trail continues through gently undulating terrain. Ski through birch forest and out into open pine forest with views across Smällhögarna. Look into the distance and enjoy the amazingly beautiful landscape as you continue to the southeast. You could see wolverine tracks and, in the spring, you can hear the babbling waters of Bruddan. This is the perfect place for a rest with a mountain view.

When the route turns northward, you will cross the trail to Lunndörren several times. To finish off, you are rewarded with 3 km of wonderful downhill skiing to the River Vålån.
