Destination Funasfjallen

What Destination Funasfjallen does

Destination Funäsfjällen is a private Swedish destination management organization (DMO) operating as a membership association for the Funäsfjällen mountain region in Härjedalens kommun, Jämtland Härjedalen, established in 1972. The organization coordinates and markets the region across nine villages (Bruksvallarna, Fjällnäs, Funäsdalen, Ljusnedal, Messlingen, Mittådalen, Ramundberget, Røros Regionen, Tänndalen, and Tännäs), unifying six ski areas offering approximately 147 alpine descents, 300 km of cross-country ski trails, 91 km of snowmobile trails, 200+ fishing lakes, and 300 km of flowing water under a single commercial and brand umbrella.

The company operates an integrated digital platform comprising the boka.funasfjallen.se booking engine for accommodation and activities, the Spår och leder Funäsfjällen mobile application for real-time trail and lift status, and the fjallpass.segora.se pass-sales portal. Its commercial product suite is built around the Fjällpass system (Fjällpass Lift, Fjällpass Längd, Fjällpass MTB, Fjällpass Skoter, and Fjällpass Kombi) and curated experiences including the Funäsfjällstriangeln multi-day cross-country package and the Bestig 40 toppar mountaineering challenge launched in 2024. Underlying trail maintenance is executed by the related entity Funäsfjällens Ledbolag, funded in part by Fjällpass revenue.

The business model combines transaction fees on lift and trail passes, marketplace commissions on accommodation and activity bookings, and grant funding from public bodies (Tillväxtverket, Jordbruksverket, and the European Regional Development Fund). The company serves outdoor recreation enthusiasts across alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, mountain biking, hiking, climbing, and fishing, with growing emphasis on summer activities and international visitors via the 2025 cross-border Røros-Østerdalen collaboration. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via owned digital channels, supported by a network of hundreds of local member businesses, staffed InfoPoints, and an events calendar.
