Discover the best of the Swedish winter during a week in the beautiful Swedish region of Dalarna. With a stay in a cosy hotel near a ski area, you can enjoy days on the slopes and special activities such as a dog sledding tour, a snowmobile safari and perhaps even dinner in a mountain restaurant. Relax in the mountains and experience a true Swedish winter.
The trip takes place in Sälen, in the Dalarna region. Here you will stay in a personal hotel, outside the lively centre. The hotel is located in characteristic buildings with a history dating back to the beginning of the 17th century. Surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery. The rooms are spread across several buildings and are individually decorated with rustic details. A delicious breakfast and access to the sauna are included.
A trip becomes truly special with unique activities. And one of these is, of course, a dog sledding tour. Accompanied by a guide, you can drive your own sled: one of you drives the sled while the other enjoys the beautiful scenery from the sled. Halfway through, there is a stop at a mountain restaurant for a Swedish fika, and you can switch drivers. Afterwards, there is of course also plenty of time to cuddle with the dogs.
Accompanied by a guide, you will take a beautiful snowmobile tour through vast landscapes. The tour takes you above the tree line, where a nature reserve offers beautiful views over the mountains. This makes the tour an extra special nature experience.
Dinner in a mountain restaurant
Early in the evening, you will be picked up by a snowmobile sleigh that takes you to a cosy location in the mountains. In this charming restaurant, atmospherically lit by candles and an open fireplace, a delicious four-course dinner is served. At the end of the evening, the sleigh will take you back to the hotel.
A special winter activity. Together with a guide, you head into nature and take a walk through the deep snow. With snowshoes, you can get really close to the untouched wilderness, and with a little luck you may even spot some wildlife!
For experienced skiers, this activity offers a very special nature experience. During ski touring, you climb the mountain on skis together with a guide and then ski back down through the untouched snow. Along the way, the guide will teach you the different techniques.
Our recommended travel period for this holiday runs from the end of December through March. A tip is to book this trip in February or March, as the days are already getting longer during this period. In January, on the other hand, the area is a little quieter.
