Sweden's landscape is of forests, lakes and mile after mile of winter wilderness and very different from the Alps with traffic coked roads and craggy peaks. The accommodation, food and service are good and its people welcoming, lively and friendly. Sweden ski resorts are popular, despite the excessively cold weather, in large part because avid skiers can expect snow on the mountains throughout the winter, no matter what. Skiing in Sweden in the winter may be cold, but it is also a guaranteed good time.

Top Tips for Skiing in Abisko

1. Stay Warm. Other than buying good quality ski clothing, you should always dress in layers as they trap warm air in the spaces between.
2. Stay hydrated. You must replenish your liquids from all that exercise.
3. Take a lesson. No matter how good your skiing, it can be invaluable to get expert advice both on your style and the local conditions and ski slopes.
4. If you don’t fall, you’re not skiing hard enough. Many ski instructors say that you cannot get better without pushing yourself.
5. Look out for beginners. We all started as beginners and their occasional lack of control is to be expected, not a cause for your annoyance.
