snowboarding all the time, continues
Andrea, who prefers snowboarding. It’s not
over-crowded; there are rarely any queues
for the lifts.
Helena agrees with the girls.
– You get the feeling of being on a moun-
tain, she says. There’s a relaxed atmosphere
in Branäs. And the skiing is great.
During the afternoon, the family has
time for a few runs together in Storbacken,
Kulingen and Ovansjöbacken. They grab
the opportunity to try last year’s novelty:
Branäs’ first chair lift, Östersjöliften, which
increased the capacity in the most popular
kids’ area.
– We have also built three new lavatories
that are easy to get to when you’re on the
slope and need quick access.
The Ski Lodge offers slightly more
luxurious and comfortable accommodation
directly adjacent to the slopes and all the
facilities.
– It completes Branäs to have hotel
accommodation which hasn’t been available
before. Now we have alternatives in all
price ranges and standards – camping,
cabins and hotel. You can choose if you
want to treat yourself to full or half board.
– We have also extended our current
restaurant with room for another 140
dining guests and added 40 comfortable
seats in the lounge for people to sit down
and relax. There is also a large open
fireplace where you can get cosy and take
the chill off.
When it is time
for lunch, there are four
restaurants and three heated public cabins
to choose from. Helena and Hans take
the family to Brant’s where a lunch buffet
Sports shop and one
of the largest ski rentals
