The Swedish Crown

Skiing in Sweden

Those, who like winter sports, often have to make a decision in what snow region it would be better to spend the next winter vacation. Speaking about skiing in Sweden, one should surely mention that the best ski area in this country is Värmland. Another popular place is Brattmon.

There you can find nice holiday homes to rent but they are a little bit remote from the main cross-country trail. The Langberget ski trail is illuminated. This is a great advantage for Sweden because the sun sets early in winter there. During your ski vacation in Sweden it is also advisable to put on snowshoes instead of skis one day and take an extended trip around the ski area.

The ski region of Värmland offers you a really unforgettable and successful ski vacation. You can take an extended hike in the snow and admire beautiful winter landscapes. One more very popular local pass-time there as well as in Finland is ice fishing. It is a real experience that you can enjoy starting since mid-February when ice becomes thick enough. It can truly become one of the best memories of your vacation.

Another ski region is Vastra Götaland. Tanumshede is situated there. Skiing in winter is excellent in Sweden. You can enjoy cross-country skiing and snowshoe hikes. There are also many beautiful and rather comfortable guesthouses.

And now lets consider Idre ski region. There is a great choice of accomodation offered in Idre, including apartments, hotels and guesthouses. Wide choice of winter activities is offered there. For instance, you can go in for ice fishing or take a sled dog tours. The later activity is a very special one, so try not to miss it.

Those who like speed will be offered to try snowmobiling. Also you can go in for cross-country skiing, alpine skiing and snowboarding (both for beginners and professionals), scooter and snowshoe hikes. Or you can stay inside by the fireplace in a wonderful holiday house covered with snow.

No matter what ski region in Sweden you will choose for your winter vacation, all the same you can be sure that good winter holiday for you is guaranteed.
