LOFFE’S STORY
THE WORLD’S BLUEST, KINDEST AND MOST MISCHEVIOUS BEAR Long ago, on an icy-cold night, Loffe was born in a bear’s den close to Hovärken. Back then, he was brown and furry like all the other bear cubs, but when summer came his mummy realised that he wasn’t at all the same as the others. Loffe thought that bilberries were the best thing ever. Lots of bilberries. Loads of bilberries! Loffe ate so many bilberries that he finally turned blue from top to toe. Not only that, but he got so perky from eating all the bilberries that he didn’t want to hibernate when the winter came. So, while all the other bears are sleeping, Loffe plays with his very best friends: the children in Lofsdalen.
7 TIPS FOR THE KIDS
A HOLIDAY WITH THE FAMILY The whole family can have fun on a skiing holiday in Lofsdalen – there’s plenty of space to play. The ski slopes are family-friendly and the lifts are easy to learn. Lofsdalen also has a convenient conveyor lift that makes getting up the slope easy, even for our littlest guests. Loffe, Lofsdalen’s little blue bear cub, dances, jokes and plays with the children. Lofsdalen’s kids’ area is in Snölandet, close to the picnic cabin, playground and Aktivitetshus, which has a bowling hall, simulators and playland. This is the perfect place to gather the family. At the ski school, children can learn to ski on safe, gentle ski slopes. Lessons are adapted to the children’s level of knowledge and their wishes. The ski school is fun, with plenty of games for the younger children and exciting skiing with tricks, forest skiing and speed for the older ones.
Once a week, everyone who wants to can go on a treasure hunt with Loffe. Loffe has lost his treasure chest! The children help Loffe to find it. Loffe and a ski instructor collect the children from outside Skidboden with a snowmobile and sledge. Then we travel to Loffe’s cabin to look for treasure! He’s already waiting for winter so that all of his friends can come and visit him! The Loffe Cup is held at the end of the week. This is when children have the chance to show off their skills along with all their new friends. Zigzag past all the figures and cross the finish line, where Loffe is waiting with a medal and a big hug!
