Storlien is a Swedish ski resort in western Jämtland, just 2 kilometres east of the border with Norway.
Storlien is a saddle point in the Scandinavian mountain, and the highest point on Saint Olaf's Way, a pilgrim route in use since the 12th century.
In Swedish history, it is infamous for a failed military campaign at the new year on 1718 and 1719, where Lieutenant Carl Gustaf Armfeldt led thousands on men back from Norway, into a blizzard where most of them froze to death.
As the railway was built in the 1880s, Storlien emerged as a prestigious resort. The Royal Family has a house here. During the late 20th century, it has been in the shade of the more developed resort in Åre. As living costs in Norway have become the world's highest, Storlien has a retail trade out of all proportion to its small size.
