The museum buildings were designed by architect Jörgen Grönvik. Inside the museum there is a permanent exhibition of work by sculptor Emil Näsvall (1908-1965).

Funäsdalen Church (Funäsdalens kyrka) was built between 1926 and 1928 after drawings by the architects Curt Björklund (1895-1958) and Martin Westerberg (1892-1963). The building has a frame of brick.

Funäsdalen has asubarctic climate influenced by the combination of its high elevation and simultaneous deep valley position. This leads to highdiurnal temperature variation and cooler summer days than its far inland position would suggest. Being a ski resort, Funäsdalen has lower accumulation thanStorlien to its north, but retains a reliable snow pack due to the consistently cold temperatures. With theinversion at the lower elevations in the valley combined with longer nights in summer,frosts are common year round. The regular seasonal variation is slightly larger thanRøros on the Norwegian side of the border, although the all-time temperature range is larger in the Norwegian town.
