1. Touring on your own

The Glider
Our true classic for you who wants to easily experience the national park during winter! Take the chairlift up and follow the cross-marked trail southward. You will soon notice where the trail got its from. You can actually glide all the way down to the mountain station again!

To the Björkliden Ski Resort
From the mountain station at the top of chairlift, there is also a marked trail westward towards Björkliden. Follow it upwards to the pass between Nuolia and Slåttatjåkka before you head down towards Björkliden’s trail system. You might even have enough time for After-Ski before the train back to Abisko.

To the valley of Kårsavagge
Inside the high mountain valley of Kårsavagge is a very cosy hut. Walk under the railway and along the road up to the chairlift. On the other side of the bridge is the head of a marked trail. After following the Abiskojåkk stream, the trail leads up into the valley. A slightly longer tour that can be combined very well with a night in the hut.

The King’s Trail and the national park
Do a short tour to the Marmorbrott quary or Nissunjåkka canyon, where you will find places to rest and a lean-to. Some choose to go up Lake Abiskojaure before turning back. There are plenty of trails in the national park that are excellent to take back for some variety along your tour.

Alpine ski touring
The area between Abisko and Narvik offers countless peaks to ascend with climbing skins under your skis. Look around at www.topptur.nu to tips and tours.

Downhill skiing
Björkliden, Riksgränsen and Narvik. All the classic ski resorts that are located only a stone’s throw from Abisko.

2. Track-set cross-country trails
Our cross-country trails are located on Nuolja’s slope between Abiskojåkk stream and the mountain. We have three different trail lengths. The trails are regularly set with a snowmobile and sledge, meaning that their width is more suited to classic skiing than skating.

Touring and cross-country trails
Regardless of how you plan a quiet tour or a training session on cross-country skis, you will find what you are looking for in our system of trails.

3. Nuolja Off-Piste - The mountain of opportunities
First and foremost, this is not an average ski resort. Nuolja is a mountain in its purest form, wild and uncertain. The skiing takes place in two zones – either inside or outside the ski area. There is ski patrol in the area and the risk for an avalanche is reduced daily to very little. If you choose to ski outside the area, you are completely vulnerable to your own judgement and your own decisions. A large dose of humility and own taking your own responsibility are needed.

Despite the problem and dangers, there are possibilities that make Nuolja great. The advantage of you designing your own 500 metres of descent from the beginning to the end in natural mountain terrain. The privilege that for a moment, completely as per your own inspiration and skill, ski a mountain created for true skiing.

Opening hours and prices - winter 2010
Open February 13–May 1.
9.30-16.00

4. Off-piste guiding each day
Absolutely off-piste! Mount Nuolja is perhaps Sweden’s best kept skiing secret. The terrain is varying and creative, the only worry is that it can be difficult to get around the mountain. Take the chance and ski an afternoon with those who know the mountain best – the ski patrol. During your guiding, we search for and ski the best off-piste – the deepest powder and the best lines. The price includes two hours of guiding.

Included in the guiding:
Off-piste guide, rent of off-piste backpack with transceiver/probe/shovel
Pre-booking. Gathering each day 10.30 at the mountain station.
Price: 170 SEK/person (non-STF member 210 SEK)
