Travel information
Postponed renovation at STF Grövelsjön Mountain Station

The planned renovation of the shop, reception and kitchen at STF Grövelsjön Mountain Station has been postponed by one year, with a new construction start in autumn 2026. This means the mountain station will remain open as usual with all facilities available during both the 2025/2026 winter season and the summer season of 2026.

About the accommodation

STF Grövelsjön Mountain Station is located 816 meters above sea level, at the top of the Dalarna mountains near the Norwegian border. From here, you have direct access to miles of hiking trails and ski tracks right outside the door.

The station is beautifully situated at the foot of Långfjället with sweeping views of the Norwegian mountains. Several nature reserves and national parks with unique landscapes can be found on both the Norwegian and Swedish sides of the border.

STF Grövelsjön Mountain Station is one of the world’s most environmentally friendly mountain accommodations. It is certified by Green Key, the restaurant is KRAV-labeled, and only high-quality organic ingredients are used. We serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and are fully licensed.

We offer a range of accommodation options to suit different budgets and comfort levels. Choose between rooms with private bathrooms or shared facilities in the corridor. Full or half meal plans are available, or you can cook your own meals in our guest kitchen. In the main building, you’ll find a sauna, several lounges, a ping-pong room, and a playroom.

Travelling with a dog? We have a few rooms where pets are welcome, as well as a common lounge where you may bring your four-legged friend. Dogs are not allowed in other areas of the mountain station.

Grövelsjön Mountain Station has a well-stocked sports and grocery shop. Here you’ll find everything from provisions and outdoor gear to mountain maps, clothing, and first aid supplies. We also offer rental equipment for both summer and winter tours. If you wish to rent ski equipment, we recommend booking in advance.
