By Skier & Snowboarder on 4th December 2024 • ( 0 )

Temperatures are dropping, the first snowflakes have hit the ground, and the forecast is looking promising with more snow anticipated ready for the season opening on 14 December.

Unsure of which resort to visit? Here skiScandinavia MD Ben Nyberg gives his take on the various ski areas.

Plus, there’s still a few spots open for the 2025 February half-term break, and the early birds can start booking for the winter 2025/2026 season already!

Opening of the 2024/2025 season

The 2024/2025 ski season will kick off in the Norwegian slopes of Hemsedal and Trysil, as well as the Swedish resorts of Kläppen, Sälen, and Stöten. Skiers are in for a long season – it’s going run all the way until 27 April 2025.

Do you know your Trysil from your Kläppen?

Earlier this autumn, MD Ben Nyberg gave his take on the characteristics about the different resorts: “The resorts are all unique and special in their own way. Hemsedal ski resort, which is often referred to as the ‘Scandinavian Alps’, is where I lived, worked and raised a family for many years so it will always be special to me – it’s also a paradise for off piste skiing!

“Stöten is one of the most welcoming and friendly ski resorts I’ve ever skied in – it feels like a home from home. Trysil is Norway’s largest ski resort and has amazing skiing for all abilities. Kläppen ski resort was built by a family, for families – it exudes charm. Hundfjället & Lindvallen are part of Sweden’s largest ski area, Sälen, and is the go-to destination for the ultimate in Swedish skiing.”

Family Ski Holidays

Half-term is one of the most popular times to go on a family holiday, and often one of the busiest on the slopes. This winter the majority of school holidays in Scandinavia are the week prior to the UK half-term meaning quieter resorts, less queues and more space in ski schools. There is still some availability with direct flights from London Gatwick to Scandinavian Mountain Airports and very short transfers – 40 min to Norway and a 10 minutes to Sweden.

2025/2026 booking season

skiScandinavia have launched holidays to their most popular destinations for next winter earlier than ever! Only £50 per person deposit required. Departure dates launched for Trysil, Stöten, Hundfjället:
