Through Vännäs on skis

Three ski areas become a joint winter destination

About the project

The project aims to develop Vännäs as a winter destination by connecting the ski trails at Vännäs camp, Vännäs recreational area, and Vännäsby ski stadium into a several-mile-long continuous cross-country skiing area. A new connecting trail of approximately 3.5 kilometers will be established and complemented with trail maps and signage. At the three trail entrances, new meeting places will be created with wind shelters, barbecue areas, information boards, and the opportunity to borrow skis for younger children. Together with children and educators from preschool, a special children's ski trail will also be developed. The project is carried out in collaboration between Vännäs municipality, ski clubs, preschools, landowners, snowmobile clubs, high school students, and local businesses.
