Ramundberget

The most snow-sure base in Härjedalen at 700 m, above the treeline and often skiing into May. Expensive by Swedish standards and unapologetic about it.

Bold marks the winner. Rows where neither is bold are close enough that the difference would not change a decision. Cost excludes travel, which depends on where you leave from.

Piste kilometres, lift counts and prices are indicative and compiled from public sources — they have not yet been checked against the resort's own figures for this season. Costs are planning estimates, not quotes. Spotted one that is wrong? Tell us.
