South of Niehku Mountain Villa is Kebnekaise, Sweden’s highest peak, which rises some 2,100 metres above sea level. Our helicopters whisk you away to one of the country’s most inaccessible alpine areas, with steep mountains and mighty glaciers perfect for off-piste skiing. The average vertical drop is between 500 and 900 metres, but the longest runs we can choose from offers up to 1450 metres.
With over 5,000 square kilometres of ski terrain and more than 60 mountain peaks, the area offers everything from recreational skiing to the steepest of challenges for true professionals.
On a typical day’s skiing we’ll tackle eight to twelve runs, sometimes more, depending on the snow and weather conditions. During your day on the slopes you’ll enjoy a hot lunch prepared at Niehku, and the package also includes snacks and non-alcoholic beverages to boost your energy for the next run. We ski in small groups of four to five skiers or snowboarders plus a guide. There are never more than two groups sharing a helicopter. All guides are IFMGA-certified with many years of heliskiing experience.
Niehku Mountain Villa is located right on the border between Sweden and Norway, offering ski touring enthusiasts the best of both worlds. Not only does our location provide easy access to the beautiful, rolling mountain ranges of Swedish Lapland, pulse-pounding off-piste skiing, and countless tours around Riksgränsen, but guests can also enjoy the spectacular alpine fjord landscape of the Norwegian coast.

It goes without saying that our experienced guides will be with you every step of the way.
