Funäsfjällen or Vemdalen?
These two are close on 7 of 9 measures. That is the honest answer: the numbers will not choose for you, so the difference below that matters to you is the one to decide on.
Sweden
Funäsfjällen
One pass across Funäsdalsberget, Tänndalen and Ramundberget, plus 300 km of cross-country trails — the largest linked area in Sweden by that measure. Bus-linked rather than lift-linked, which is the catch.
Worth knowing. Bus-linked rather than lift-linked, which costs you time every day.

Sweden
Vemdalen
Three linked areas — Vemdalsskalet, Björnrike and Klövsjö-Storhogna — on one pass, with 470 m of vertical and a strong family reputation. Quieter than Åre and cheaper, at the cost of a longer drive from anywhere.
Worth knowing. A long drive from anywhere, whichever airport you pick.

Bold marks the winner. Rows where neither is bold are close enough that the difference would not change a decision. Cost excludes travel, which depends on where you leave from.
Piste kilometres, lift counts and prices are indicative and compiled from public sources — they have not yet been checked against the resort's own figures for this season. Costs are planning estimates, not quotes. Spotted one that is wrong? Tell us.
