The coolest family outings for a winter holiday in Sweden and Norway

Going on holiday to Scandinavia with your children? Great idea. There is plenty to do for the whole family, especially in winter. How about cuddling with huskies or ice fishing in a white fairytale? Of course interspersed with the most beautiful ski slopes. We have listed the best tips for the coming winter.

Off to Sweden

Sweden turns into a beautiful place in winter Frozen landscape full of snowy hills, vast forests and frozen lakes. So: lots of snow and ice fun for the whole family. You can ski and snowboard here on the still wonderfully quiet slopes, you can skate on the countless mirror-smooth lakes and cross-country skiing is perfect through the white hills.

animal fun

The exciting outings are countless. For example, alternate a day of skiing with a trip with husky dogs. You can even give your child a hug. With older children, a snowmobile safari over frozen lakes and through a hilly landscape is just great. Who knows, you might even spot a moose.

Look at Santa Claus

During the Christmas holidays you can visit Santa Claus in the fairytale Tomteland. Get you in the Christmas mood right away. Afterwards you can relax and stay in one of the beautiful family parks with real Swedish stugas (houses). At Buro Scanbrit you can easily put it all together yourself in advance. This way you create a winter adventure where the best excursions are already included.

Dream vacation in white Norway

Another winter sports paradise: Norway has the best snow conditions in winter with meters of snow. The slopes are very clear and therefore ideal for young novice winter sports enthusiasts to make a descent. The best winter sports areas in Norway can be found in Geilo, Voss, Myrkdalen, Stranda and Norefjell. Great for skiing off the slopes there, but also for taking a nice walk. It is much less crowded than in France and Austria, for example.

Fat biking in the snow

There are also all kinds of winter adventures for you and the slightly older children. Besides skiing and snowboarding or a husky safari, fat biking or take a RIB boat safari through the Aurlandsfjord.

Easy to compose yourself

In Geilo you can combine skiing with fat biking – such a snow bike with mega fat tires -, a husky safari or go snowshoeing in between skiing. Snowshoeing is a true Norwegian family tradition; every weekend, families go out for a refreshing walk in the snow together. Afterwards it is nice to chill with a hot chocolate.

Snow-white fjords

In Voss you are in one of the most special ski destinations in Europe. Nowhere else will you find such phenomenal views over the mighty fjords and snow-white mountains. The ski areas here are also well-arranged and therefore very suitable for families with children. Tip: a ski holiday in Voss can easily be combined with a relaxing visit to Bergen – where you can enjoy shopping – or an excursion in the snow-white fjord area. That’s bucket list material.

Nice and sustainable

Beautiful nature must of course also remain beautiful. Nice idea: with Buro Scanbrit your CO2 emissions are compensated. This means that the CO2 emissions of the transport, accommodation and excursions of the trip are compensated. They do this by investing in various sustainable energy projects.
