Fjällmacken i Lindvallen AB

Cosy and beautiful. Good slopes. I liked my instructor, she was competent and helpful.

We visited early in the season, so many things were still closed. We managed to find only one functioning bar and two (subpar) fast food spots.
Also, we came with public transportation, which turned out to be more inconvenient than most places in Europe. The resort is tailored for people with cars.
(that might explain why only two bars were open).
The first day of our visit, one of the two bars that were open, wasn't serving anything at all because the entire crew was busy going through full-day training on how to work in the bar...

The staff though is really friendly and all of them tried their best to be helpful, despite many of them being inexperienced and not yet sure how to handle their tools and responsibilities. Probably almost the entire crew is replaced by new hires each season.

The resort town is spread along a long hillside featuring many different slopes for all levels. But, at the start of the season, many bars and service points are still closed, which means one must move from one end of the hillside to the other (>1.5 km) and back a few times a day. It would be nice with a shuttle service every half hour or so.

There could also be area maps in main crossroads, like they have in nature reserves. Now, it was a lot of guesswork to orient oneselef among the winding small roads, as there are almost no signs. Google maps is kind of helpful, but a lot of paths that looked accessible from aerial photos, were actually fenced up.

On the whole, once you get familiar with the place and what it currently offers, it is a nice resort. I could think about coming here again. But it would be nice if the unwritten rules of how things work here were more openly accessible to the "uninitiated". The information on the website is not enough to support proper planning and preparations.

It was soooooo fun skiing here and the first day I was here it was really clear but the last two days it was really windy and the seat lifts were stuck but they can't control the weather and I still had fun. Really nice shops and restaurants and I had a really big cabin fitting 10 people. Me and my family had a great time spending here in the big skiing grounds. So fun.

We drove hours from our home town to go to those places but it was worth experience. I came from tropical Island Bali Indonesia, my first impression of this place is giant and fun.

There is several arena that you can try from basic with a green line on the maps and black line for advanced. My advice if you never do skiing before watch some video and please take a course at least for an hour to build your confidence level. By the way you have time buy skiing pass and also equipment, they provided all the information in their website.

We are staying in the cabin called Bruna Byn actually is one of the best cabin areas. The don’t provide a bed linen, duvet cover, even for pillows cover for free so, for that better you bring your own and for those who like preparing your own meals, don’t worry because they have a big supermarket around. Enjoy and don’t broke your legs.

Excellent family orientated ski resort with a good mix of facilities, accommodation and skiing. As this is Sweden there is plenty of snow from Christmas to Easter and it is significantly cheaper than Norway. Easiest way to arrive is via Oslo airport which is 4 hours drive or if driving via Denmark from Germany or Netherlands, over the Oresund Bridge and about a 8 hour drive north from there.

Fantastic ski resort, many lifts and different slopes and gradients.

Great place to go cross country skiing and down hill. Perfect for families and large groups. Would definitely love to come back again 🙂

Ok we live in Sweden so don't expect the Alps...
The area has lots of dining, shopping and outdoors to enjoy.
It's all we have......

Not bad for a Swedish hill, definetly family focused, if you're looking to get away or a spot to bring your kids its definetly worth checking out
