The mountain destination Idre Himmelfjäll continues its expansive development. A further 350 million SEK is now being invested in the facility as part of the long-term commitment to develop the destination.
Idre Himmelfjäll is described as the biggest investment in a new ski resort in the Swedish mountains in over 30 years and has already attracted extensive investment in recent years. A total of around 2.4 billion Swedish kronor has been invested in the area over the last five years.
The new investments include continued development of the ski area, new accommodation and improved infrastructure. The plans include, among other things, more beds, new lifts and slopes, as well as continued expansion of the centre area Polstjärnan with hotels, restaurants and service facilities.
Idre Himmelfjäll has grown rapidly in recent years, positioning itself as a modern mountain destination with a focus on families, nature experiences, and sustainable development.
The company continues to see strong demand for both housing and investments in the area, while the development is expected to contribute to more job opportunities and strengthened tourism in northern Dalarna.
The following are included in the new investment plans to be implemented in 2026-2027:
– New SOUTH ski area with seven new slopes and a 6-seater express lift
– Doubling of snow cannon capacity in new and existing slopes
– An additional seven kilometres of cross-country ski trails with a focus on the mountain top trails
New heated cabin/café/waffle house at Flinga's Children's Land
- New barbecue areas and toilets directly adjacent to the slopes around Flinga's children's area
– Over 300 new beds in modern houses and apartments are being built by private individuals/companies.
Idre Himmelfjäll continues to plan and design for further expansion in line with Vision 2036. In the vision, Idre Himmelfjäll creates approximately 18,000 beds, a summit lodge, a centre area, a ski lodge, about 50 slopes, and more restaurants and services.
The aim is to develop a long-term sustainable mountain destination with the utmost respect for the surrounding nature, visitors, the environment, neighbours, and the future. A mountain inspired by its own local heritage.
