About an hour’s drive from Skellefteå, surrounded by forests and open landscapes, you will find Bygdsiljumbacken, one of Västerbotten’s most versatile outdoor destinations. What began as a small ski slope in 1943 has grown into a lively mountain facility, run with dedication by a local non-profit association passionate about outdoor life.

During winter, the hill comes alive with 13 slopes suitable for both beginners and experienced skiers. The area offers ski rental, a ski school and a cosy top cabin where guests can warm up with a meal or a cup of coffee while enjoying the views. With nearby camping and cabins, it is easy to turn a day on the slopes into a longer stay in the snowy landscape.

When the snow melts, the focus shifts from skis to bikes. Bygdsiljumbacken is home to Västerbotten’s largest lift-served bike park, offering nine downhill trails that continue to evolve every season. The varied terrain attracts both beginners and experienced riders looking for an exciting summer adventure.

Bygdsiljumbacken combines community spirit, nature and active experiences, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts all year round.
