Dundret or Orsa Grönklitt?

They split the categories 3–3. This comes down to the kind of week you want rather than which resort is better.

Sweden

Dundret

440 m of vertical above Gällivare, eight minutes from its own airport, with the midnight sun in late spring and the northern lights all winter. Small, and honest about it.

Worth knowing. Small, and dark until February.

Sweden

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.
