Sweden’s Idre Fjäll has announced that it will not host any FIS World Cup events in ski cross or moguls during the 2025–26 season, ending a streak of high-profile competitions that helped establish the resort as one of Scandinavia’s premier freestyle venues. The Idre Fjäll moguls competition was schedueled for December 13-14, 2025, and is one of the staple events on the Moguls World Cup calendar. For the past few years, the opening event was always held in Ruka, Finland, followed by Idre Fjäll the following weekend. The FIS Ski Cross World Cup was originally scheduled for March 27–29, 2026. The resort was also hosting a Europa Cup in mid-December, which according to the press release will not be affected.
In a statement released by the resort on October 24, Idre Fjäll said the decision was made following a “comprehensive financial assessment” and a reallocation of resources toward long-term investments.
“We are proud of the World Cup competitions we have arranged and the position Idre Fjäll has built up as an international competition arena,” said Calle Enarsson, CEO of the Idre Fjäll Foundation. “At the same time, we need to ensure that our resources are used in a way that strengthens our entire business in the long term.”
Located in Dalarna County, central Sweden, Idre Fjäll sits at an elevation of 1,890 feet (576 meters) and is one of the country’s best-known ski destinations, offering over 40 slopes and 26 lifts. Over the past decade, the resort has become a cornerstone of Sweden’s World Cup calendar, regularly hosting top-tier ski cross and moguls events that attract elite athletes from around the world.
Despite stepping back from hosting duties this winter, Enarsson emphasized that Idre Fjäll remains committed to supporting Swedish winter sports through training and future events. The resort continues to serve as a key training base for both national and international teams and is expected to return to the World Cup circuit in future seasons. International moguls teams have been or are still currently training at Idre Fjäll, including the Swedish, French, German, and Dutch team.
If the races will be picked up by other host countries or will be canceled is currently unclear.
