Björnrike (Bear Ridge) is the more adventurous of the Vemdalen ski areas, with a reputation for good off-piste terrain and forest skiing that attracts powder hunters when fresh snow falls. The resort is smaller and quieter than Vemdalsskalet, which makes it appealing for those who want to avoid the main crowds during peak season.
In summer, the mountain bike trails and lift-accessed downhill runs at Björnrike attract cyclists from across Scandinavia. The surrounding birch and pine forest is also good for hiking, with marked trails leading up to bare fell terrain and panoramic views over Härjedalen.
