Northern Lights, check. Heli-skiing, check. blissful serenity, check. Björkliden has all the elements for a ski holiday with a difference. Located on the edge of Abisko National park, the snowfall is so plentiful that the ski resort doesn't open until February, but it's worth the wait!
Whether you're a beginner skier learning the ropes, or an experienced powderhound, Björkliden has got you covered. The gentle slopes are perfect for progressing and when your confidence is up, pop over to neighbouring Riksgränsen for a slightly steeper gradient on the free shuttle bus.
Away from the marked pistes, the chance to tick heli-skiing off the bucket list might be too much for any avid skier to resist. And talking of bucket lists, there's a good chance of seeing the Northern lights in Björkliden when the skies are clear. Is there any better way of levelling up your holiday snaps? We don't think so...
