Järvsö Bergscykel Park (JBP) is located in the heart of Järvsö in Hälsingland. In June 2010, we opened the gates to what is now one of Sweden's largest bike parks.
Lars Lööv and Frasse Fransson.
However, our story began a little earlier. In 2007, current CEO Lars Ek Lööv traveled to Whistler Bike Park in Canada, the world's most famous destination for downhill cycling. That trip sowed the seed of having a bike park at home in Järvsö.
At that time, Järvsöbacken was only used in the winter for skiing. That seed led to a conversation with colleague Fredrik Fransson, which later led to a sale to obtain permission from the owners of Järvsöbacken.
To get expert help from the start, we brought in Tom Pro from Gravity Logic in Canada. He has solid experience having built Whistler Bike Park as well as many other well-known bike trails around the world. We ourselves did not have much experience at all in building bike tracks, so the first build was laid together with Tom Pro and one of his men from Gravity Logic.
After a lot of hard work and educational weeks, four trails were completed. Since then, JBP has been our own mini-Whistler and Tom Pro is a close friend and recurring consultant for further development.
In June 2010, we opened the gates to the bike park and welcomed Sweden's downhill cyclists to the premiere. At that time, the trails Monica, Malin, Barbro and Kristin were ready. It was also the starting signal for the lift in Järvsöbacken now also running in the summer.
On hand at the opening of JBP was none other than Järvsö's own legend Barbro "Lill-Babs" Svensson.
All names of our trails are connected to Lill-Babs, like the name of her daugters and well as well-known Lill-Babs songs.
An important part from the start has been that we want to attract all bikers, from beginners to experienced. Everyone should be able to have fun. There are easier bike trails for those trying downhill biking for the first time to advanced downhill trails that require experience.

In 2025 we celebrate 15 years! These 15 years have passed very quickly, while a lot has happened over the years. Not only for us at JBP but also for Järvsö as a destination.
Järvsö is full of entrepreneurs and tourism companies with experiences and culture to take part in. Järvsö has thus established itself as a very popular destination. We feel great pride in being part of such a vibrant place!
In addition to the bike park and rental of both downhill bikes and XC bikes, we have our own hotel that was opened in 2019. JBP Hotel has 32 double rooms, four of which are handicap accessible.
On the ground level of the property is Restaurant Sydsidan. You will also find the JBP Shop there with bike-related products such as clothing, bike parts, helmets, cycling shoes and some other little things.
Where the bike rental is located at the back of the hotel is also our bicycle workshop. In addition to the staff continuously servicing our own bikes, we can also accept simpler service jobs on visitors' private bikes.

"The time frame can be divided into two parts: The time before Järvsö Bergscykel Park opened and the time after Järvsö Bergscykel Park opened. Because in no other place in Sweden has a place undergone such a major transformation due to the establishment of cycling there."
