This year marks a special occasion as participants gather one last time in Kittelfjäll, celebrating the unforgettable experiences it has provided, before setting sights on new horizons next winter.
A Legacy of Exploration: Venturing Into New Terrain
The spirit of adventure has always been at the core of the Free Heel Fiesta, with previous years dedicated to exploring uncharted mountains beyond the lift areas.

These adventures await those eager for a challenge and an unforgettable experience on the slopes.
