Adventure Holidays in Sweden

In focus: Winter in Sweden

The Värmland region of Sweden is a pristine wilderness, famous for its rugged mountains and beautiful landscape dotted with spruce forest and frozen lakes as far the eye can see. In the winter months all is blanketed in white, and you can enjoy a week experiencing traditional life here by snowshoeing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and making friends with the local husky dogs – the best mode of transport in these parts. There’s also the opportunity to horse ride through the forest, try ice fishing and camp beneath the stars on an adventure that has ‘winter wonderland’ written all over it.

At night cosy up in an authentic Swedish villa, locally owned and run. Dating from 1910, it's decorated in traditional Swedish country style made famous by designer Josef Frank. Guests eat locally sourced Swedish food together in the dining room, from where there’s a view over the mountains and the river Klarälven. Next door there’s a snug sitting room and crackling fire, a perfect spot to relax after an active day outdoors.
