Duved between cross-country skiing, the ski area and history

Duved is a destination for travelers who want to combine winter sports with history and culture. The Duved Cross-Country Arena offers five different trails covering almost 40 kilometers in total. At the same time, historic buildings and monuments shape the character of the town. This allows you to plan a varied trip combining active days in the snow, cultural discoveries and traveling by train.

Cross-country skiing and winter sports with different focuses

The Duved Cross-Country Arena offers both skating and classic cross-country skiing. When choosing your holiday apartment in Duved, you can therefore already consider which type of cross-country skiing experience you want to focus on. For a short, technically focused session, there is also a 400-meter technique and sprint track. It includes bends, waves and short but steep climbs.

The Duved and Tegefjäll ski area lies at the foot of Mullfjället in western Åredalen. The slopes are predominantly red and blue. Anyone wanting to include different types of runs in their trip planning will therefore find a clearly defined winter sports setting here. Duved also has a quiet beginners’ area with a drag lift and conveyor belt. The snow park includes jumps, rails and moguls; it opened in the 2022/23 season. Depending on your preferred daily schedule, you can thus choose between cross-country skiing, groomed slopes and park features.

Church, fortress and Carolean monument

Duved also offers notable points of interest away from winter sports. Duved Church was inaugurated in 1894 and is a wooden cathedral with 900 seats. Its construction history gives the town a distinct cultural character. Those interested in historic religious buildings can include the church as a separate item on their itinerary without making their stay exclusively about sporting activities.

Duved skans was built in 1700 during the Great Northern War and played a central role in that war. The Carolean Monument in Duved was inaugurated in 1892 in memory of the men who died while crossing the mountain border. The monument was designed by Ferdinand Boberg. Together, these sites provide access to different chapters of Duved’s history: its military past as well as its culture of remembrance.

Getting there and choosing accommodation

Duved railway station is located on the Mittbanan line and is served by the Norrtåg line to Sundsvall, Östersund, Åre and Storlien. This connection is a practical factor in your trip planning if you want to consider traveling by train. When searching for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Duved, you can therefore first decide whether winter sports, culture or a combination of both should be the main focus. The right location within the town should then be based on your personal daily routine and planned activities.
