Idre Fjäll

Winter season 2016-17

What better place to be during the winter than a winter resort, this winter I'm working at the famous Swedish resort Idre Fjäll, we're operating the F&B department with 6 restaurants, they're spread through the resort, so we're on the run all day & sometimes on ski's, I wish I'd listened more during my lessons a long time ago on Ben Lomond.

 

 

 

 

Well known winter play ground with its ski runs and lifts, Idre has been a winter favourite for Swedish family's for many seasons

Clear mountain air

Idre offers unparalleled views

Idre Fjäll is an all year activity destination with Hiking, horseback excursions, rafting and water sports being popular.  Idre Fjäll is a summer mountain biking destination, an explosive sport gaining in popularity every season, Idre Fjäll in summer has become a destination in itself.
