Next to the main slope, there’s a popular children’s slope with a conveyor lift, where kids can safely practice going downhill and easily ride back up again.

If you train at the ski stadium, there is a shower, toilet and changing room available at Skellefteå Ski Club, and there you can also wallow your skis.
