About Branäs
It was not until the mid-1980s that the project got a real boost. LO-Värmland took on the Branäs project, and together with HSB Värmland and the County Council in Värmland, the financing was successful. In July 1987, it was announced that the Branäs project would receive state support. In 1988, the shovel was put in the ground and the inauguration of the facility was made by King Carl XVI Gustaf in December of the same year.
Roughly 500 million kroner were invested in the first years, after that it became more difficult because the costs dragged on and bankruptcy was close. In 1992, an arrangement was made with the creditors and the debts were written down by 75 %. HSB Sweden took over the facility and ran it until 1999. After that, the current owners took over Branäs Fritidscenter AB and since 2004 Kungsberget's ski facility also belongs to the Branäs Group.
Branäs are thirteen-time winners of the Big Children's Holiday Award and in 2021 we were named Ski Resort of the Year by SLAO. An award that you can read more about here.
