We’re investing in more snow-sure winters and developing the skiing experience

Here at Orsa Grönklitt, we continue to invest and develop our resort to create even better and more varied winter experiences for our guests. Ahead of the 2026/2027 winter season, we are taking several new steps – in our alpine ski area, on our cross-country trails and in the experiences beyond the skiing itself.

We continue to strengthen our snow reliability through increased snow storage and more efficient snowmaking, while also developing our alpine skiing with more skiable terrain, improved access between the ski areas, and new and enhanced experiences on the slopes.

For cross-country skiing, we now offer up to 140 km of trails and are launching a new partnership, bringing a new cross-country ski school and the opportunity to book private cross-country ski lessons. Our youngest guests can also look forward to a brand-new play area when Blåbärslyan opens – an inspiring space for play, creativity and activities.

Dalaplus is also expanding this winter, offering even more skiing with the addition of two ski days in Funäsfjällen.

New and expanded snow storage area

We are now building a brand-new snow storage area with the capacity to store more than 30,000 cubic metres of snow. At the same time, our existing snow storage area is being expanded to 28,000 cubic metres, creating even better conditions for an early cross-country skiing season opening during the 2026 autumn break and for reliable snow conditions on our cross-country trails.
From 2027, Orsa Grönklitt will have a total snow storage capacity of more than 60,000 cubic metres of snow.

More Powerful Snowmaking and increased capacity in Söderbacken

A brand-new high-capacity pump is being installed together with 10 new modern snow guns. This investment will enable faster and more efficient snowmaking when weather conditions are favourable, improving snow reliability on both our alpine slopes and cross-country trails.
We are also upgrading the snowmaking system in Söderbacken to ensure consistently high-quality snow conditions on both the ski slopes and lift tracks.

An investment in the future of winter

For us, snow reliability is about more than technology – it is about giving our guests confidence when planning their winter stay. By continuously developing our snowmaking and snow storage capacity, we can offer high-quality skiing, whether you prefer mile after mile of groomed cross-country trails or perfectly prepared alpine slopes.

More alpine skiing and improved snow reliability for the winter season

Alpine skiing here at Orsa Grönklitt continues to develop. Following last winter’s major investments, we are now taking the next step, with a focus on improved snow reliability, better access between the ski areas and even more skiing.
Last winter, we introduced several new features to our alpine ski area. The new Fikabacken and Äventyrsbacken slopes were equipped with snowmaking, while Äventyrsbacken was filled with playful features – including Sweden’s first cinnamon bun on a ski slope. We also opened a brand-new Snowpark, which quickly became a popular addition among our guests.

Easier access between the ski areas

Ahead of the coming winter season, we are continuing to develop our alpine ski area. At Södertoppen, access is being improved to make it easier and smoother to ski between our different ski areas – Söder, Norr and Öst.

Between the Norr and Mellan ski areas, slopes are being widened to create a better skiing experience. At the same time, a former transport route is being developed into a new blue run, giving our guests even more skiing and a more enjoyable way to move through the ski area.

Even more playful skiing

We are also continuing to develop two of last winter’s popular additions. Äventyrsbacken will feature even more playful elements and new features, turning every run into an adventure for both children and adults. The Snowpark will also continue to evolve, with more and new features designed to offer greater variety, progression and even more fun on the slopes.

This winter, our cross-country ski school is run in collaboration with Almgren Coaching. Whether you are a beginner, want to improve your technique or are training for a race, there are lessons suited to your level. Choose between group lessons and private lessons in classic skiing and skate skiing.

New ski school group – Snowpark

This winter, we are launching Snowpark, a brand-new ski school group for young skiers who want to discover or develop their park riding skills. The group is perfect for both beginners taking their first steps in the terrain park and those with some experience who want to progress further.

The focus is on building a solid foundation with safety, control and confidence at the heart of every session, while developing technique and learning new tricks together with our experienced instructors.
