Your questions about Idre, answered

How big is Idre?

Idre has 41 pistes served by 18 lifts — 5th for pistes of the 15 resorts we track in Sweden. On lifts it ranks 4th of the 15.

How high is Idre?

The lifts run from 600m at the base to 1000m at the top, a vertical of 400m. Of the 15 resorts we track in Sweden, that is the 7th highest, with the 9th 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 Idre 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.

When is the ski season at Idre?

Over the last ten winters Idre has typically held skiable snow at mid-mountain from around 17 December to 30 April, about 136 days.

January is the best all-round month on the record, with an average base of 47cm, 31cm of new snow and 0.1 bluebird days.

Estimates from straight-line distances, not timetables: flights at typical cruising speed plus taxi and climb, transfers at an average 65 km/h by road. They leave out check-in and baggage time, and mountain roads in snow can take much longer. Check with airlines and transfer companies before booking.
