Your questions about Tärnaby, answered

How big is Tärnaby?

Tärnaby has 20 trails served by 8 lifts — 11th for trails of the 15 resorts we track in Sweden. On lifts it ranks 10th of the 15.

How high is Tärnaby?

The lifts run from 1,312ft at the base to 3,281ft at the top, a vertical of 1,969ft. Of the 15 resorts we track in Sweden, that is the 7th highest, with the 4th biggest vertical.

The base is below 3,281ft, 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.

On those numbers it suits beginners and intermediates.

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.
