Estaciones de esquí en Sweden
Swedish skiing means Åre, the largest resort in northern Europe, and Sälen, the country's family heartland. The season runs deep into spring with long light evenings in April, terrain parks and night skiing are exceptional, and the culture is relaxed, well organised and very child friendly. Above the treeline the fells are exposed, so wind holds are part of the deal.
