Kläppen Ski Resort Nominated for the Grand Tourism Award
Kläppen Ski Resort, Sweden’s largest family-owned ski facility, has been nominated for the prestigious Grand Tourism Award in 2025. With over 40 years of experience, the resort has consistently developed experiences where innovation, care, and sustainability go hand in hand.
Why Kläppen Stands Out
From groundbreaking snowboard parks to unique initiatives like Spa Kurbits with Northern Europe’s first snow room, Kläppen continues to lead the way in future tourism development.
”Kläppen ski resort is a strong example of entrepreneurship and courage. By constantly developing both guest experiences and employee work environments, they show how a private family business can contribute to the entire region’s attractiveness. Their ability to combine innovation with responsibility makes them stand out in Swedish tourism,” says Sophie Resare, Acting Business Development Director at Visit Dalarna.
Nomination Highlights
Kläppen is a place where both family travelers and advanced skiers feel at home. The resort’s key attributes include:
- Familiar atmosphere
- Unique experiences like the Spa Kurbits snow room
- Dedicated sustainability efforts
”We are incredibly honored by this nomination. With continuous development, personal approach, authenticity, and care as our guiding principles, it feels prestigious to be nominated for the Grand Tourism Award. We always try to be a little better and forge our own path,” says Gustav Eriksson, CEO of Kläppen Ski Resort.
