A glistening winter wonderland – well into the spring

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? Even long after the Christmas decorations are stored away in a box in the attic, Sweden boasts glistening snow, the chance to go dog sledding, and plenty of other winter fun – including, of course, skiing.

From smaller, family-friendly resorts to endless extreme off-piste challenges, Sweden offers a wonderful combination of outdoor sports and recreation, beautiful food, and pure nature. Up north, there is an entire indigenous culture to explore, along with a centuries-old craft market, and there are mountains to hike across and northern lights to discover.
