Nuolja Offpist

Offpist skiing

Off-piste skiing is a wonderful experience, but it places a lot of responsibility on you as a skier. Always make an assessment of the conditions based on the terrain and the current avalanche forecast. Find out the current avalanche risk outside the ski area on the Swedish avalanche forecast website (opens in new tab). Our ski patrol is happy to answer questions regarding both skiing and current conditions.

The skiing is more intense and technical on the south side of the mountain, with icefalls, cliff drops and often a few more skiers than in other areas. The north side offers a skiing that is less steep and with more of a cruising sensation. Nuolja’s more serious runs are higher up on the north side, which can only be accessed by boot packing or skinning up. This terrain is only for the experienced off-piste skier, which also means you must think more about safety.

Offpist skiing advice

Always bring avalanche safety equipment with you (shovel, probe, transceiver) and ensure that you know how to use it.

• Never stop directly below a slope, go to the side.
• Remember that you may trigger an avalanche that can hit people below you. Do not go out on a steep slope if there are people below you.
• The fact that someone has been there before you does not mean it is safe.
• Unmarked obstacles/dangers occur in the terrain.
• In the event of an accident it may be a long time before you receive help.

In case of an accident:
Call 112
