"...none can compete with the eco mountain station in Dalarna." The Guardian

Winner of the Royal Accommodation Award for Sustainable Tourism.

Come and stay a week at a traditional, award-winning Swedish mountain station in the Grövel Lake mountains, where you will find an intimate atmosphere and stunning natural surroundings.

During the days there is a wide range of guided and self-guided activities to choose from. You can join the station's knowledgeable guides on one of the day tours offered, or alternatively you may decide to spend the day exploring the mountains on your own. Cross country or ski touring instruction can also be arranged. In the evenings you can enjoy home-cooked Swedish cuisine served in the station's fully-licensed restaurant, with its beautiful view over the Norwegian mountains to the west. Perhaps you will end the day with a herbal bath or other treatment offered in the station's mini spa or choose a massage to soften stiff muscles and replenish your energy.

This is an excellent experience for families, as children under 16 can stay in their parents' room free of charge. Children under six also eat for free. You can hire a child ski-sled for young children who cannot ski themselves, and there are activities such as "ski play" available. The Swedish mountains are a wonderful winter playground!

The Grövel Lake mountains are the ideal combination of tranquility and adventure. The mountain station offers full service and you can choose from different accommodation and board alternatives in different price categories. Give yourself a little luxury with shower and toilet en-suite or choose to have shared facilities. Choose full or half board or cook for yourself in the self-catering kitchen available.

You can go cross-country skiing, tobogganing, build snow castles, look for the tracks of birds and animals, or find a special spot to make a fire and barbecue sausages. The activities and adventures are endless in the Swedish mountains!

Comments on Winter Weeks in the Mountains:

"We had a wonderful holiday. Thank you for all your help in organising it for us and thank you to everyone at the mountain station for making it such a wonderful experience. It did come as quite a shock to be the only non-Swedish familiy there that week, but everyone was extremely welcoming, kindly spoke English to us and interpreted group conversations and the girls are desperate to go back again next year. A special thank you to Conny and Staffan, who were unbelievably patient (as were the other families), especially on the first few days, when the girls spent more time on their bottoms than on their feet! Many thanks again." Tracy
