Flottsbrobacken

Quick stop at Flottsbro ski hill south of Stockholm before heading to the airport and back home. End of a busy week with demos etc. in Kista. Nice ski moment, but a bit bittersweet as I kept remembering a recently lost local friend who I knew also loved to ski …

More information from Flottsbro can be found from their home page. There's a nice rentals/cafeteria building at the bottom. A two-story building, with the restaurant, lockers, bathrooms and a terrace in the second floor. Quite nice by ski resort standards. I didn't try the restaurant but looked good. Adult lift tickets are 240 SEK for three hours and 340 for a full day. 

There's an extensive training program organized by the Huddinge Skidklubb.

I had originally thought I'd do an Uber excursion to one of the not-yet-visited ski hills near Stockholm. But after several people recommended Flottsbro, I decided to rent a car instead for the day, and use it to get to the airport also at end. Flottsbro was in the other side of Stockholm, so with the taxi rides, and leaving luggage at the hotel would have been expensive and consume too much time. 

I rented a car from Kista near my office and dropped it off at the airport. Oddly, the service (MABI) that I used wouldn't have one-way rentals on their website, but when I called them they said they can change my reservation. Yet, when I booked the 50€ "secret car" deal, they later emailed me that I won't be able to do the one-way rental on that deal, but they would have me a good fixed price anyway. That "good fixed price" turned out to be 150€... and on my credit card bill there's now 289€ of withdrawals from them. Perhaps some are reservations that will be credited later, but ... sigh. I think I will avoid this service provider in the future. Be careful out there.
