How to Exploit a mountain stay in an optimal manner, can be very divided. Many people want to be able to unwind from the everyday chaos. You may not want to fit the times, just raw yourself and simply do nothing while others want to combine nature with excitement and the opportunity to turn themselves in other ways compared to what everyday life looks like. Here you get the chance to try something new and different. Let us make a few suggestions. We have a number of solutions that are guaranteed to provide an experience from what you're used to.
Dating back to the early 1900s.
Birkl's is an old and established name in the ski and conference contexts. Already in 1936, he started the ski school in Bydalen. Edmund Birkl came with a wealth of experience and education from St. Anton and Hannes Schneider Austrian ski school. Among the students were labeled future greats in Swedish downhill as Sigge Bergman and Olle Rimfors. Edmund married a girl from Jämtland, started a family and stayed in Sweden and Bydalsfjällen. Contact with Austria and their ski traditions he never released, however. Many are the customers who over the years learned, with style and sophistication to slide down the slopes with Edmund.
2000s ski school
Today Hakan Birkl, son of Edmund are working at Bydalens Inn as responsible for events and the ski school. Skiing and ski school is still the mainstay of the business, but with great potential to tailor the needs and desires of our customers.
We have new and environmentally friendly machines. You can rent warm snowmobile suits, shoes, fishing equipment and a place in a sledge. We organize both day, morning and afternoon tours. We also have tours where we can offer you to barbecue on a Murika, ice-fishing or only some refreshments.
