Family Holidays in Sweden

Winter family holidays in Sweden - from peaceful forest retreat to wild mountain adventures (part 2)

There are few more thrilling alternatives for a winter family holiday in Sweden than dog sledding. Our dog sledding holidays in Sweden are all multi-day expeditions, with accommodation in tents, cabins or teepees depending on the tour. Tours are normally suitable for adults and older children only, but we also offer two options ideal for families. Lapland Husky Holiday One-to-One is a husky-centred multi-activity experience ideal for families, while Discover Dog Sledding in Lapland is a flexible option allowing adults to drive their own sled while children share driving duties on a sled or ride as a passenger depending on age/size, etc. Both are located in the far north of Sweden, one of the world's best locations to see the Northern Lights. Full winter outer clothing is provided to keep participants both big and small warm and cosy!

If your children love the outdoors and enjoy a challenge, a dog sledding holiday in Sweden will not only be an experience to remember for years to come, but an excellent opportunity for personal development, teaching teamwork and self-reliance and improving self-confidence.

Finally, hiring a log cabin in Sweden during the winter can be an excellent choice for a family winter break, combining the freedom and cost-effectiveness of a self-catering holiday with access to a wide range of outdoor activities. Both our Log Cabin Escape in Värmland and Winter at the Northern Comfort Lodge experiences are ideal for families, sleeping up to 6 and 8 persons per cabin respectively. There is also smaller "Lynx" cabin adjacent to the lodge ideal for families of up to 6 persons. In addition to plenty of chance to simply "play in the snow" and enjoy the winter landscape, the surrounding forests and hills offer cross country skiing, snowshoeing and ice fishing. At the Northern Comfort Lodge, you can even try a wood-fired open air hot-tub by the lake or arrange a day's dog sledding.

From the quiet, restful forests of Hälsningland to the wild mountain plains of Jämtland, Sweden offers many possibilities for traditional, unusual, active and adventurous winter family holidays.
