both words mean mountain. but when you use the word fjäll we use it mostly when we for example are going to skiing and other activites. for example: jag ska till fjällen i helgen(meaning i am going too the mountains this weekend, and when we say this, we usually mean we are going to skiing or doing other activities you can do on the mountains). Berg is more a general word, for example: titta vilket stort berg( meaning look what a big mountain)

@esteten89 is really on point, but fjäll is also a term for a mountain-chain or landscapes with higher altitude (or surrounded by mountains) aka bergkedja (mountain range). But mostly It's used as alpine, when you are going to do mountain activities :)
This also reminded me of song by a Swedish artist -
Markoolio: Vi drar till fjällen.

@Metamorphosis bra förklaring😁 Det var svårt att förklara på ett enkelt sätt hur man definierar ordet fjäll. Det har ju flera olika betydelser.

@esteten89 Absolut! Tycker själv det var svårt att helt definiera ordet då det kan ha olika betydelser i olika sammanhang. Men tyckte du förklarade bra :)
