The news of the season is here! Here we present the biggest news ahead of the 2024-2025 season.

Branäs nyheter säsong 2024-2025

A brand new family area behind Ladan's restaurant
Even more fun in the facility! Here we create a natural gathering point for families who want to enjoy fun winter activities and time together. New barbecue areas, a juice stand and the children's après ski are some of the activities you will find in the new area. In addition to that, we are also moving STIGA Snowracer land to the new family area, which will be a fun place for the whole family to go snowracing. In addition, we have installed a long ski belt, perfect for children and beginners who want to feel the joy of skiing for the first time. 

New ski cross course in Mattesdalen

We are happy to present the news that the ski cross course is making a comeback! In the middle of the hill Stormen begins the serpentine-like track that stretches a good distance down the hill. With a real ski cross start, you get the right feeling when you set out on the fun and adrenaline-filled skiing adventure. Take the Parklift back up and challenge friends and family to see who gets down first!

Collect ski badges and become a real Branäs champion!

For this season, we're introducing Ski Badges - a fun way to take your kids' skiing to the next level while collecting colorful wristbands!

You can choose between four different brands with different degrees of difficulty, which you easily buy in the shop:

• Green: Buster - Perfect for the little adventurers! Ride a track in Björnbuseland and get your green wristband.
• Blue: King of speed – Are you as fast as the wind? Challenge yourself in Speedski and be crowned Speed King with a blue bracelet.
• Red: Slope professionals – Skiing in style! Complete a ride in Funslopen and prove that you are a real slope pro.
• Black: Park Master – Are you a master of tricks? Jump and ride in the big park to earn the black bracelet as the Park Master.

As if that wasn't enough, the children can also try the Björnbusecupen, Branäscupen, STIGA Snowracer challenge or dare at the Airbag Open to collect all the colors and become a Branäs legend!

Smoother connections in the ski area - Långsvängen will be even longer!

Our popular family hill is getting even longer! Now you can ride Långsvängen all the way from the top down to Gondoltorget in one and the same ride. The new traction gives the skier a better flow and it will be even easier to get on to other parts of the ski area! Långsvängen is also the hill you should choose if you want to discover the entire Mattesdalen with, among other things, the popular park and the ski cross track! 

Increases the capacity for snow production on the slope

We continue to invest in snow safety! With our upgraded snow system on the Gerremo slope, our steepest slope, we can now offer skiing even earlier on the black piste. The Gerremobrante was also named Sweden's third best slope in 2024 by Freeride.

New lift card and key machines improve service

We've expanded our popular key machines to more areas, so you can easily collect your key when you arrive and leave it when it's time to go home - quickly and easily with a code. In addition, we have installed new lift ticket machines, which means that you can pick up your pre-purchased lift tickets or buy directly from the machine at any time of the day. Fix everything practically the day before so you have more time on the slopes!

State-of-the-art grinding machine creates magic in the workshop

For this season, we are fine-tuning the ski rental! With our new machine, we increase the capacity in the workshop and raise the quality of our rental equipment. Do you want your own skis sharpened and newly sharpened? Come by our workshop in the village and let us create the skiing magic for you! By taking care of your skis, you get both a better experience on the slopes, but also a longer lifespan of your skis.

Increased traffic safety on the mountain

In order to create a safer environment for pedestrians moving between the ski rental and the ski area, we are rerouting the road between Soltorget and Skiduthyrningen. The new road will go behind the ski rental, which gives our guests a safer passage. The car park will continue to remain in the same location as before.
