Hamra Syd - Ski touring and off-piste in Tänndalen

Hamra Syd – a ski area in Tänndalen without lifts or slopes. Here it's all about ski touring and off-piste skiing. Let us tell you what it's all about.

The mountainside where it all began

The southern side of Hamrafjället, on the other side of Rörosvägen as seen from Ski Lodge, is the mountain side where it all began here in Tänndalen. When the first ski tourists found Tänndalen in the early 1900s, there were no slopes or lifts. Long wooden skis and leather ski boots were used to go both uphill and downhill. Then “Pinnen” – a legendary guide and ski instructor – came to Tänndalen and in 1951 the first slope with an associated chairlift opened on the south-facing slope of Hamrafjället. For various reasons, the Tänndalen ski area continued to grow on the current side of the valley. The first lift was dismantled and the slope has slowly grown again.

An idea emerges

The peak tour trend is growing like crazy. More and more people are discovering the charm of getting to the top on their own and then enjoying their well-deserved turns down. Training and fun in a wonderful combination. We, who are always thinking of new ideas, suddenly came up with the most obvious thing, to open Tänndalen's first ski area again! We give you skiing in its purest form, without lifts and lift queues, just like it once began.

Ski touring + freeskiing

You might be thinking, the mountainside is already there. But here’s what we’ve done: First, we’ve carefully thinned the forest—just enough to make the skiing enjoyable, while still allowing the trees to gather that lovely light snow. We’ve cleared both easy and challenging trails all the way to the top. We’ve also developed and enhanced the fun natural features already in the terrain—cliffs, jumps, and chutes. We’ll keep a close eye on avalanche risks and take action if necessary, as the area will be part of the ski patrol’s responsibility. Our goal is simple: to create an amazing off-piste experience in safe conditions, whether you're new to ski touring or an experienced adventurer. We believe it doesn’t get much better than this!
