Two years ago, Gällivare municipality formed the municipal company "Dundret Gällivare Fjällanläggningar AB" to buy and operate the mountain facility.

Since then, a restaurant and hostel have also been opened.

Local restaurants are fighting for survival

Företagarna, which is a business organization representing local companies in the community, now believes that the municipality is engaging in unfair competition.

This is because the municipal company also runs a restaurant and a renovated hostel with very large deficits at the ski resort.

- We think that private actors should run this part with the restaurant and the accommodation.

It is offensive to open a restaurant on Dundret at the same time as restaurants are fighting for their survival in society, says Börje Johansson, chairman of Företagarna in Gällivare.
