About Our Swedish Ski Holidays
Skiing in Sweden
Sweden has more than 100 ski resorts, with gentler, more rounded mountains than the Alps, creating beautiful tree-lined runs.
- The country’s largest resort is Åre with 90km of slopes to explore. It’s an ideal choice for more experienced skiers and snowboarders with steeper pistes and excellent off-piste opportunities
- In Sälen, you’ll find gentle, beginner-friendly terrain and a strong ski school infrastructure
- As the nation’s favourite pastime, Sweden is one of the best places in the world for cross-country skiing with extensive groomed trails.
Ski Resorts in Sweden
Sweden is home to several excellent ski areas. Many of the ski resorts are smaller than their mainland European counterparts, however, they boast fantastic ski terrain.
- Sälen is a top ski resort in Sweden near the Norwegian border, split into four ski areas suited to different skill levels, with a peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking scenery
- Åre is further north and sits on Åresjön lake beneath the Åreskutan mountain. The northern location brings long sunlit days and magical twilight skiing.
Top Tip: Sweden’s temperatures drop lower than the Alps so layer up with thermals and windproof gear
Activities in Sweden
Sweden is spoilt for choice when it comes to exciting winter activities. Explore Scandinavia by experiencing something other than downhill skiing.

- If you visit at the right time, you can witness the night sky come alive and showcase the magical Northern Lights
- The Northern Lights are most visible from September to March, and this spectacle is not to be missed.
Après Ski in Sweden
Après ski is a little different in Sweden. Compared to its Alpine counterparts, it is a little more traditional and relaxed.
- Après ski here can sometimes include more skiing, with many Swedish resorts offering night skiing on their main slopes
- Åre is a livelier resort than Sälen, with a buzzing village atmosphere and more party locations such as Fjällgården or Tott Hotel.
Food in Sweden
Swedish food isn’t too far from typical international dishes and has more recently gained wider recognition (especially from the introduction of IKEA!).
- Swedish mountain cuisine often draws on hearty, traditional Nordic dishes suited to cold climates
- Sample traditional Swedish meatballs, gravlax, reindeer and elk dishes during your ski break here
- Even in ski resorts, the Swedish tradition of fika (a coffee-and-pastry break) is still present, with cosy mountain cafés serving cinnamon buns, cardamom buns and other sweet treats.
Top Tip: Try Fjällgården’s restaurant in Åre for traditional Nordic mountain fare
Snow in Sweden
While Swedish ski resorts are generally lower in altitude than many Alpine and North American resorts, their northern latitude more than makes up for it, delivering reliable snowfall and excellent conditions throughout the season.
