There's so much to enjoy in the abundant snow and ice of Sweden's glittering winter wonderland. From the World Cup skiing of Åre's mighty downhill pistes to the exotic Arctic of Riksgränsen in the far north.

From the snowboarder's wild paradise in Lapland to the family resorts in the southern mountains. Sweden has the resorts to suit all tastes and levels of experience. Self-contained accommodation is easy to find, as well as the warm hospitality of hotels, many of which feature excellent leisure facilities.There's plenty to do on or off skis. Dog sledding is widely available, so too snow-mobiling. There's horse-riding, ice fishing, ice-climbing, heli-skiing and reindeer-sledding. And at the end of the day what about a hot sauna for those tired muscles? Have you ever rolled in the snow, or taken a dip in an icy lake to cool down after a hot sauna? Try it, it's great!
Every winter more and more foreign tourists travel to the Swedish mountains. They are enticed by excellent skiing in stunning surroundings and copious amounts of snow.
Taking a trip? A journey with a spiritual significance – a journey where you leave every-day reality behind you for a moment of peaceful meditation while your creaky skis carry you out over the vast, white mountain expanses.
Awesome hills, burning attacks of lactic-acid, astounding mountain guides and extreme off-piste experiences with powder up to your armpits. Experience all this in the Swedish mountains.
There are numerous winter sports facilities in Sweden offering a wide range of activities, amusements and recreation for every taste.
