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!
Excellent skiing in stunning surroundings and copious amounts of snow.
