Fjällvinden (full name Tärna IK Fjällvinden) in Tärnaby, Sweden is arguably the most successful alpine skiing club in the history of the sport. Although Tärnaby has a population of a mere 500, Fjällvinden has produced several of the greatest alpine skiers of all times; Ingemar Stenmark, Anja Pärson, Stig Strand, Jens Byggmark and Bengt Fjällberg.
IK Fjällvinden was founded in Umfors, while Tärna IK was founded in Tärnaby. The two clubs merged in 1928, adopting cross-country skiing. Alpine skiing was adopted in 1937.
The name "Fjällvinden" fittingly translates to "The wind on the mountains".
