With well-run and maintained facilities and high standards, Sweden ski holidays will be enjoyed most by families, beginners and early intermediates - thanks to the high-quality ski tuition and wide range of other activities beyond the slopes.

The pistes and slopes are quiet by European standards, but the hospitality is high and the Swedes are really friendly hosts with excellent levels of English spoken across the resorts. If you fancy some Nordic skiing, sledging or outdoor icy plunge pools with a Swedish sauna, this is the place for you to come.

Off the piste the food is excellent and plentiful, with lots of fresh ingredients and quality beers. And once you've rounded off your evening meal, why not pop back outside for a chance to see the awesome Northern Lights, nature's very own light show, and all for free?
