Skip the car and the icy roads – take the train to Vemdalen

Would you like to avoid driving far on the snowy roads on your way to the mountains? To travel from the southern or middle of Sweden to Vemdalen to your skiing holiday takes a lot of time and energy.

Let us take care of the transportation while you eat, sleep and rest – so you can arrive well rested in the morning, ready for a day at the slopes!
