Nuolja Offpist
Off-piste skiing is a wonderful experience, but it places a lot of responsibility on you as a skier.
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.
After careful consideration, STF has decided to discontinue avalanche control within the ski area on Nuolja starting from the 2025/2026 season. This means that all skiing will take place entirely at one’s own risk. STF will also no longer provide ski patrol or medical services in the terrain.
It will still be possible to ski on Nuolja — but on the mountain’s own terms. The cable car will be open during the day, and the Aurora Sky Station Café will operate as usual. However, it will no longer be possible to purchase ski passes or season tickets.
The decision has evolved over several years and was made following evaluations and discussions after the most recent season. We have engaged in dialogue with SLAO’s Safety Council and relied on the joint industry guidelines developed by SLAO and the Swedish Consumer Agency. STF has also consulted legal experts to ensure that the decision is correct and sustainable in the long term — for the organization, guests, and employees alike.
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.
