Sledding
Sledding at Galå Fjällgård
A short slope directly behind the lodge is the toboggan run for our youngest guests. Children will find fun and variety sledding here.
Children and adults who want to sled a longer distance can try the slope downwards from the small local peak of Predikstolen. Depending on snow and weather conditions, there is also enough drive for tobogganing there.
Sled Cross Park in Persåsen
Persåsbacken (Persåsens piste) offers a different kind of snow fun. The facility is run by a non-profit association. Sledding as a winter activity is possible for everyone here.
As a beginner you start with a general instruction in driving techniques and safety regulations and you will pass the sledge driving license for enjoying your first ride on one of the fast pistes.
Pistenkarte
With the help of a ski lift (platter lift) you can reach the top of the small mountain. Various slopes with different levels of difficulty await you. The longest slopes are 600 meters (illuminated in the evening) and 1,250 meters from the crest of the small mountain Persåsbacken long.
The centrally located clubhouse "Svedjan" offers the opportunity to warm up and eat small snacks.
The rental of a sled is included in the price of the lift ticket. Open three days a week during winter season.
The lift operation is managed by a non-profit organization. Opening hours may vary depending on the availability of staff for the lift and the snow- or weather conditions. The season usually starts in early to mid-January and lasts until shortly before the Easter holidays or, at most, until Easter Monday.
