Arctic Circle skiing with northern lights

Björkliden has 12 pistes served by 5 lifts — 14th for pistes of the 15 resorts we track in Sweden.
The lifts run from 500m at the base to 1000m at the top, a vertical of 500m. Of the 15 resorts we track in Sweden, that is the 7th highest, with the 7th biggest vertical.
The base is below 1,000m, so the lowest runs are the first to suffer in a mild spell; the upper mountain is the safer bet early and late in the season.
The pistes at Björkliden split 30% beginner, 50% intermediate and 20% advanced, against an average of 33% beginner and 17% advanced across the resorts we track in Sweden.
On those numbers it suits beginners and intermediates.
