Winter sports in Sweden: the most beautiful ski areas
Absolutely future proof they are in Sweden, now that going on winter sports is becoming increasingly uncertain. Winter sports in Sweden is more than alpine skiing and snowboarding. It outdoor life is an experience in all seasons and in all weather conditions in Sweden. If you want to hike for days on end on a new slope, then Sweden may not be your winter sports destination. But do you also want to go skiing and snowboarding? Nordic to ski aka cross-country skiing, husky sledding, e-mountain biking, snowshoeing, ice skating and moose spotting, then Sweden is a great adventure. And you might get it the Northern Lights as a bonus toe.
Sweden has more than 100 ski areas spread across the country. The ski areas are quiet and there are no long lines at the lifts. Because we don't want to stand still once we are in action. Or it should be with a beer in a lounger. If you have never been on a winter holiday in Sweden, where can you look for a nice winter sports trip?
In the summer to Sweden is also a good idea. Prepare for long summer evenings in a red, wooden house on a beautiful lake.
You can also ski all day in Sweden. Some towns have one mountain and others have larger ski areas. For example in Vein – with the title of Sweden's best ski area – in the middle of Sweden. All slopes, from blue to black, and off-piste to kids parks, are available here.
Salen The Dalarna region has the largest ski area in Northern Europe and is a great place with children and also has plenty of challenging slopes.
In Northern Sweden Hemavan Tärnaby the largest ski area. There is also extensive skiing entertainment here. And to go skiing in Lapland is quite something bucket list.
Located in the middle of Sweden Dalarna region. A wonderful region all year round. To the largest ski area of Dalarna, Salen, you fly directly from Groningen and that suddenly makes Sweden very close. Although it is also easy to do by car.
Do you go for a large area like Sälen or do you choose to stay in a historic wooden village like Fryksas and then ski in the area of Bear. Be further Idre, Säfsen, Borlange (not such a nice town) and Falun (a historic town) with nice, compact winter sports areas many outdoor fun.
Earlier already we discovered the package holidays to Scandinavia from Voigt Travel. This club also has winter sports trips to Swedish Lapland. Skiing or snowboarding above the Arctic Circle without turning it into an entire expedition yourself. We like it. From December to the entire month of March it is (almost) guaranteed snow and you can often ski until the end of May. Although some areas are not open during the coldest and darkest months. In Lapland you ski with a view of the imposing mountains and enchanting lakes. With Voigt you can book a flight to the ski areas Björkliden (family area) and The national border (for adventurers with a lot of off-piste) and flights, accommodation and ski passes are arranged for you. easy peasy we told you. Go, click and go.
