Frida Hansdotter Cup

Success for young talents in the Frida Hansdotter Cup at Idre Himmelfjäll

The weekend of week 10 filled the slopes at Idre Himmelfjäll with speed, excitement, and skiing joy when the annual Frida Hansdotter Cup took place. The competition, which is aimed at young people aged 11–16, has quickly become a much-appreciated meeting place for young alpine talents from all over Sweden.

The cup, which is named after the Swedish Olympic gold medalist Frida Hansdotter, attracted a large number of participants and spectators this year. Over two intense days, the racers got to show off their skills in slalom and giant slalom. Disciplines that require both technique and focus. The atmosphere on site was at its peak, with cheering families in the finish area and great commitment from both sponsors and volunteers.

Frida Hansdotter Cup is very much about skiing joy and community. The family-friendly atmosphere made it easy for both participants and visitors to enjoy themselves, both on and off the slopes.

The competition ended with an awards ceremony where proud racers were celebrated for their efforts. But perhaps most important of all – all participants went home with boosted confidence, new inspiration, and an even greater love for the sport.

Frida Hansdotter Cup continues to grow and secures its place as an important competition for the alpine stars of the future. And with the energy and talent displayed this year, the future for Swedish alpine skiing looks nothing short of bright. 

A warm welcome back in 2027.
