Värmland, Sweden
Värmland's premier ski destination
Branäs is Värmland's premier ski destination, offering excellent facilities, diverse terrain, and beautiful forest scenery.
Branäs has 30 pistes served by 12 lifts — 7th for pistes of the 15 resorts we track in Sweden.
The lifts run from 400m at the base to 700m at the top, a vertical of 300m. Of the 15 resorts we track in Sweden, that is the 12th highest, with the 12th 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 Branäs 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.
Over the last ten winters Branäs has typically held skiable snow at mid-mountain from around 16 January to 22 February, about 38 days.
