Idre Himmelfjäll
Sweden's newest resort, still building out. Modern lifts and new accommodation, but a smaller network than the price suggests — worth watching rather than committing a whole week to yet.
Worth knowing. Still being built out, and smaller than the price suggests.

Kittelfjäll
Sweden's freeride resort. Five lifts, almost no groomed skiing worth the name, and lift-accessed powder that people drive nine hours for. Not a family week under any circumstances.

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.
