Skiing

Cross-country skiing

Högbo Bruk is known for its well-groomed ski trails and great snow conditions. Högbo Bruks Hotel is the first lodging establishment to be appointed an official partner to the famous cross-country ski race, the Vasaloppet. In the wintertime, the trails are groomed every day and artificial snow supplies, whenever nature cannot.

 

Lights make night skiing possible along the trails from 1 km to 7.5 km long, and a multitude of unlighted trails makes daytime skiing possibilities limitless. A ski journey to Svartviksstugan (Black-bay cabin), with a picnic, is the perfect family winter excursion. The Gästrikleden, an intra-regional trail, passes through the estate and connects to the local cross-country trails. Skiing packages with lodging, technique, and waxing instruction are available.

 

Högbo frozen tracks

Högbo Bruks artificially frozen trails opens again in November. The 2 km refrigerated trail will move up Högbo Bruk's ski season by a few months. A fee will be charged until there is enough natural snow.

 

 

Downhill skiing at Kungsberget

Only 30 km from Högbo lies the alpine ski resort of Kungsberget, with 17 trails and 10 lifts. Kungsberget has varied terrain with something for the entire family. Everything from exciting children's and beginner's trails to the challenging Dream Park, mogul runs and skier-cross. Snowmaking equipment has doubled in capacity over the last year, which means better snow conditions throughout the entire winter.
