Lofsdalen is perhaps best known as a winter destination and with a vertical drop of 492 metres, the ski slopes are both challenging and interesting, mainly attracting families who return year after year. Now we have added challenges for our summer guests as well: with the creation of Lofsdalen Bike Park, young as well as adult riders can take on the downhill bicycle rides.

Last summer saw the opening of Lofs-dalen Bike Park, Sweden’s newest downhill bike park. With the help of the world’s best park designer we now have a long green line, as much as 3 330 metres long. It suits both kids and adults, is easy to ride slowly and safely and youngsters aged between 5 and 75 have made their way down.

Bikers yearning for more action should try the great Happy MTB, a path with banked curves and minor hills. Here you can pick up speed but still with easily maintained control.

Adventure seeking bikers should try Venom and Viper, two challenging trails with rocks, drops and other difficulties.

In Lofsdalen you can walk as far as you like on the 150 km of marked trails. You can also go cross-country bicycling at a leisurely smooth pace, such as circling Lake Lofssjön, a 40 km tour.

The activities’ hall ‘Aktivitetshuset’ in Lofsdalen has become a tremendous success. The 1,300 square metre hall comprises six bowling lanes, a play-land, golf and shooting simulator, arcade games, billiards, dart, and air-hockey and a good restaurant.

Fishing in Lake Lofssjön and the smaller lakes and tarns in the surroundings is quite good. Here you can try beating the local record in Lake Lofssjön, a brown trout weighing 9.6 kilo.

Genuine hikes

In Lofsdalen the fells are near for both big and small hikers. Choose between challenging treks, brief rambles, or ride the six-seater chairlift part of the way uphill. 

Genuine angling

In all probability, Lofsdalen has one of the very best fishing waters in Härjedalen for brown trout, and also excellent lakes for Arctic char and rich grayling streams. 

Genuine bicycling

Go downhill biking in Lofsdalen Bike Park, the new downhill courses on Mount Hovärken. Explore the mountains on a bicycle; the route circling Lake Lofssjön tempts with great scenery and cosy rest areas. Unless you bring your own bike, there are all sorts for hire.
