Winter Holidays in Sweden
Winter in Sweden is simply wonderful. When silky white snow coats Sweden’s vast landscapes you get to experience a whole new side of the country. There are more than 200 ski resorts in Sweden, but the mountains offer much more than just skiing: dog sledding and reindeer rides, snowmobile safaris against a backdrop of the Northern Lights, or a visit to an indigenous Sámi village, just to mention a few things you can do. Traveling during winter usually means fewer crowds, deeper hotel discounts, and cheaper airfares. This makes winter a particularly good season to explore Sweden.
