Kittelfjäll
Sweden's freeride resort. Five lifts, almost no groomed skiing worth the name, and lift-accessed powder that people drive nine hours for. Not a family week under any circumstances.
Worth knowing. Five lifts and almost nothing groomed. Not a family week under any circumstances.

Orsa Grönklitt
Gentle skiing attached to a bear park, which tells you exactly who it is for. Low, small and cheap, and a reasonable first week on skis for a family from Stockholm.
Worth knowing. 250 m of vertical. A first week on skis, not a second.

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.
