Childrens activities
Dreaming of exciting discoveries, fun-filled adventures and plenty of quality time together? The mountains are the perfect playground for children.
With endless open spaces to explore and countless things to discover, there is something for every family to enjoy, both summer and winter.
Our family-friendly accommodation makes it easy to experience the mountains while leaving plenty of time to spend together. Often, it is the simple adventures that create the strongest memories – drinking fresh water straight from a mountain stream, turning fallen trees into an obstacle course, or cooking a meal over an open fire. Set out on small expeditions through forests and mountain landscapes, or choose one of our family packages where you can discover nature together with a guide in a safe and enjoyable way, all year round.
Outdoor activities
The trolls of Trollstigen and the giant Jacob’s friends spend the summer along a loop trail just over 1 kilometre long. There is always a new mythical creature to discover in the forest. Bring a picnic and take a break by Agatha the Witch – it will make her happy!
Dare to test your balance in the trolls’ very own park? Walk the tightrope, stand on one leg and hop between tree stumps. Find a friend and enjoy a ride on the seesaw! (Available during the summer season)
If you think the ski trail is too easy, Back-Filippa’s Ski Park is the place for you. Challenge your friends in the ski play park!
Challenge yourself and develop your skiing skills with the Swedish Ski Association’s ski badges. Our reception team can tell you more about the requirements. Complete the activities at your own pace, and an adult can confirm when you have successfully completed each challenge. The badges are available for purchase at reception.
Take a break and grill something delicious at one of our barbecue areas. Firewood and charcoal are available for purchase in the shop.
Borrow a sled or a kick sled and enjoy a ride.
Indoor activities
Use your imagination to create your own Grövelsjö Troll in the Mountain Station’s troll workshop using recycled materials and paint.
On the lower floor of the main building, you will find the children’s playroom, complete with a climbing wall, table football, a cave and toys for children of all ages.
There is also a table tennis table for anyone looking to challenge friends to a match or a round of group play.
Borrow a board game, choose a book from one of our lounges, or simply relax by the fireplace.
For the whole family
Take a trip to Olån Shelter, both summer and winter. The shelter is located about halfway along a popular circular route leading towards the Norwegian border. Bring your own firewood if you would like to cook at the pleasant picnic area. During summer, you will also pass the beautiful Silverfallet waterfall, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim.
Follow the varied Nature Trail, a 4-kilometre route that takes you through dense mountain forest and up onto the open fell landscape.
Take a boat trip across Grövelsjön to the Norwegian side aboard M/S Sylöra, which operates daily throughout most of the summer season. Explore the Norwegian side before returning by boat, or hike the 9 kilometres back, partly following the same path that Carl Linnaeus travelled when he visited the area in the 18th century.
The nearby Jakobshöjden offers wonderful views across the border into Norway. Hike from the Mountain Station all the way to the summit and back (7 kilometres), or simply walk part of the route. Even from the lower slopes of the open fell, you can enjoy views stretching into Norway.
