Hello friends! Today I am sharing a collaborative post featuring some of the best places to ski in Scandinavia. This post actually comes at perfect timing because just yesterday I was talking about planning a ski trip. I hope you find this post as useful as I have, and as always, thank you for supporting A Spoonful of TLC!
Scandinavia, although relatively small, is a fascinating region of unique countries known for their utterly breathtaking natural beauty and scenery.
The great thing about this particular region is that it’s so easily accessible from most of Europe with a short flight and is also very well connected to the rest of the world, so no matter where you live it’s actually rather easy to travel there for skiing. Also, each resort is quite different so you’ll always be able to find one that suits your needs. If you’re looking for something that’s only open to adults or that offers other activities, such as cross country skiing and snowboarding, then these resorts really cover all the bases of what you could be looking for when planning your ski trip.
Although the countries of Scandinavia endure rather long and harsh winters, they make the perfect destinations for anyone who loves to ski, or is perhaps interested in learning to ski.
Skiing itself is not a one size fits all activity, so it makes sense that different ski resorts cater to different needs.
Below is a list of our top recommendations for places to ski in Scandinavia that accommodate all levels of ski-enthusiasts.
Are, Sweden: This is the largest contiguous ski resort in Sweden with 110 slopes, meaning it has a lot to offer no matter what your level of skiing. The resort is child-friendly, making it the ideal place for families, or even just a place for children to be introduced to the slopes.
Cross country skiing and snowboarding are available here if you want to try something a little different. Also, a great way to experience the surrounding nature is by taking a snowmobile safari.
Hemsedal, Norway: Located in the Scandinavian Alps, this resort is perfect for any age, including families with children. With 52 slopes, there’s plenty to keep everyone busy, and if you want to try cross country skiing or snowboarding, then you can give that a go, too. Before you leave, make sure to check out the husky safari – kids will really love this.
Geilo, Norway: This is one of the oldest ski resorts in Norway, and offers 39 slopes that visitors of all ages and levels can take advantage of. Geilo also offers snowboarding and cross country skiing facilities for anyone who wants to try those.
Although Scandinavia offers a much bigger range of ski resorts than listed here, these are consistently rated among the best and most popular for new and seasoned ski enthusiasts.
