Skiing in Sweden centres on two resorts, Are and Vemdalen, with the former the biggest ski areas in Sweden. Are is also a regular venue on the FIS Ski World Cup calendar, featuring freestyle and giant slalom events.
Slopes a plenty
Both Are and Vemdalen benefit from extensive ski areas and lots of snow, catering for all levels of ability. While Vemdalen is a smaller resort than Are, the Scandinavian conditions mean that both are covered with snow when the season arrives.
Are has 100 pistes as well as the Are Dreampark, a fantastic facility for snowboarders and anyone who likes to try a few tricks while on the snow.
Grubs up
One of the great things about a ski holiday in Sweden is the local food that you can sample during your stay. The Ski Club of Great Britain notes some of these, including smoked moose or reindeer and ligonberry ketchup.
After the sun sets
Once the day comes to an end, there is plenty to keep holidaymakers entertained during a ski holiday in Sweden. Are offers night skiing and a toboggan run - both great fun - while the village area has bars and restaurants to keep you merry.
Vemdalen has performances or live entertainment some nights of the week, with bars and restaurants helping to add to the family-orientated Sweden ski holidays every night.
Accommodation
Are offers a number of accommodation choices, according to the SkiStar Are site:
- Duved/Tegefjall - hotels and cabins
- Central Are - hotels, chalets, apartments
- Bjornen - self-catering accommodation
