Kungsberget: the first lift up the mountain was built in 1954, but enthusiasts are said to have been skiing down Kungsberget long before that. Kungsberget was for a long time jointly owned by Gävle and Sandviken municipality, and then completely owned by Sandviken municipality. In 2004, it was the Branäs group that acquired the plant. The Branäs Group also includes the facility Branäs Fritidscenter, which is Sweden's fourth largest facility.
