HEAD TO THE HOME OF SNOW: another terrific season continues in Sweden and Norway
When it comes to snow, it’s hard to beat Norway and Sweden. SkiStar’s five Scandinavian ski resorts have seen great conditions so far this season, with Åre, Sälen and Vemdalen in Sweden and Trysil and Hemsedal in Norway currently enjoying snow depths of between 62 cm and 168 cm.
Mathias Lindström, Sales and Marketing Director at SkiStar, says: “Ideal conditions saw us open our Scandinavian resorts early at the start of the season and it’s been a fantastic few months so far. The unique conditions in Scandinavia mean SkiStar can offer 150 days of skiing, and direct flights from Heathrow to the new Scandinavian Mountains Airport allow British skiers to get out on the slopes of Norway and Sweden with just half a day’s travel.”

Åre, Sweden: 96 cm – 119 cm
Vemdalen, Sweden: 62 cm – 110 cm
Sälen, Sweden: 82 cm – 88 cm
