Slalom, snowboarding, or long-distance skiing - Sweden has resorts for all kinds of winter sports. Here are four of the best ski resorts to visit in Sweden.

The Swedish mountains might not be as famous as the ski resorts in the European Alps, but they are still well worth a visit. There are plenty of resorts to visit, from Riksgränsen in the north to the more southern ski resort of Sälen.

Sweden’s most northern ski resort, Riksgränsen, is situated on the border between Norway and Sweden. It is located close to the well-known village of Abisko and 18 hours by train from Stockholm.
