Easter Skiing Kids – Image: SkiStar
Sweden: Let’s call it downhill skiing, simply because technically, alpine skiing implies it takes place in the Alps. Be that as it may, Sweden’s downhill ski resorts offer powder snow and stunning views all the same. And on Easter, let’s not forget the perk that comes with longer days and light!
Sunny after-ski-sessions aside, Easter is also a family affair with egg hunting and special meals. In Sweden, the traditional Easter meal tends to include – just like the traditional Christmas meal – several variations of herring. Even the popular Christmas soft drink called Julmust gets re-labelled as ‘Easter must’ (the drink itself remains unchanged).
In ski resorts, tourists may choose how deeply to immerse themselves in Swedish traditions. But three things will be hard to escape: a treasure hunt for eggs, colourful feathers on birch twigs, and children dressed up as witches, with their cheeks painted red.
Swedish ski resorts all find their own ways of rolling Easter traditions and Easter skiing into weeks filled with skiing and seasonal fun.
Björkliden: Way up in northern Sweden, a delightful night train ride away from the capital of Stockholm. Egg hunt, Easter arts and craft for children are offered, as are after-ski concerts and jam sessions.
Sälen: Somewhat faster to get to from Stockholm by train, and the Scandinavian Mountains Airport is nearby. Lots of Easter activities, in particular for children.
