Vemdalen Snow Conditions - Three linked areas, great for beginners 

Vemdalen skiing consists of three areas - Vemdalen, Bjornrike and Klovsjo/Storhogna - which together offer 52 runs with a vertical drop of over 400m. The slopes face both north and south and are located on either sides of the valley. There's both above and below tree-line skiing in Vemdalen, and although the runs are short and fairly limited, the terrain is varied. Vemdalen and Bjornrike are best for beginners and children, with the lower slopes of Klovsjo and Storhogna offering more challenging terrain (unusually here the easier slopes are located at the sunny top end of the mountain). In good conditions, there's plenty of powder above the tree-line for advanced skiers to explore.
