Skiing in Sweden

The ski resorts of Sweden stretch from Riksgränsen in the Arctic Circle, in the far north, down the backbone of the Swedish mountains in the north-west, and then wind east into the county of Dalarna.

And with its northerly latitude, most ski resorts guarantee snow between Christmas and Easter. So you can ski in Sweden against a backdrop of the Midnight Sun, and the kaleidoscopic curtain of the Northern Lights. Where else in the world can you do that?

The ski resorts of Sweden are turned on to the idea that to keep kids happy on holiday, you have to build fun, imagination-packed snow and ice activities around them.

Want a true winter adventure? Winter adventures don’t get much more real, or exotic than mushing your own team of Alaskan Huskies in svenska fjällen, the Swedish Mountains, or in Lapland in the Arctic Circle.
