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.

Romme Alpin
The nearest proper skiing to Stockholm, and priced for a weekend rather than a week. 270 m of vertical and snowmaking on everything — you come here because it is two hours away, not because it is big.
Worth knowing. 270 m of vertical — a weekend, never a week.

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.
