Direct peers

• Storefjell Resort Hotel: Norwegian mountain resort in Hemsedal/Gol area with ski access, conference facilities, spa, and family activities. Closest geographic competitor to Fýri within the Hemsedal ski destination.
• Radisson Blu Resort Trysil: Largest ski-in/ski-out mountain hotel in Norway, located at Trysil, the country's biggest ski resort. Comparable to Fýri as a full-service Norwegian mountain resort targeting ski, summer, and conference segments.
• Copperhill Mountain Lodge: Design-led mountain lodge at Åre, Sweden's premier ski resort, offering ski-in/ski-out access, multiple restaurants, spa, and conference facilities — directly comparable to Fýri's positioning as an upscale Scandinavian ski resort.

Emerging players

Broad incumbents

• Scandic Hotels (mountain resort properties): Largest Nordic hotel operator with significant presence in Scandinavian mountain destinations (e.g., Sälen, Åre, Trysil). Comparable as a large-scale resort operator with conference, F&B, and ski-adjacent amenities.
