Visit Hemavan Tärnaby AB

What Visit Hemavan Tärnaby AB does

Visit Hemavan Tärnaby AB, operating legally as Hemavan Alpint AB, is a privately held Swedish mountain resort company headquartered in Hemavan, Västerbotten, in northern Sweden. The company operates Hemavan, self-described as northern Sweden's largest ski resort, anchored by the Hemavan Gondol — a cable car that lifts visitors from the village to a high mountain viewpoint providing access to Kungsleden, hiking trails, and on-mountain dining. Core products span a winter ski area with 9 lifts (including the gondol/telemix), 36 runs, 3 children's areas, a snowpark, a skicross arena, and the Kobåset freeride area; a managed accommodation portfolio covering cabins, apartments, camping, and multiple hotels and mountain stations; and add-on services for ski passes, equipment rental, and ski school. Summer operations extend to hiking (Kungsleden's southern terminus, Drottningleden, Lapplandsleden), fishing, cycling, paddling, and organized peak challenges (Sommartoppar), supported by summer gondol rides.

The business model is direct-to-consumer, monetized through lift ticket and season pass sales, accommodation booking (own and partner properties), equipment rental, ski school instruction, and summer activity fees, with bundled gondol-plus-accommodation pricing to drive cross-sell. Distribution runs through owned digital channels including boka.hemavan.nu and quickbook.hemavan.nu booking platforms, supplemented by the hemavan.nu content site, email newsletters, social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), and seasonal event marketing. Customer segments are primarily individual leisure travelers: winter outdoor enthusiasts (skiers, snowboarders, freeriders) and summer outdoor adventurers (hikers, fishers, cyclists, paddlers), with a secondary segment of nature and photography enthusiasts drawn by midnight sun experiences. The company also recently extended into real estate through the Syterskalet mountain plot development, indicating diversification beyond pure tourism services. Revenue, ownership, and financial performance are not publicly disclosed.
