What should I know about Sweden?
Snuggled between Norway and Finland in northern Europe, Sweden is a winter sport paradise with unique and personalized programs. Its Arctic terrain and landscape adds to its exciting Norse culture. Tourists head to Sweden for its remote wilderness in the northern part of its country, popular for both the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights. It is the third largest country in the European Union by area, though its sparse population, mostly inhabiting the southern part of the country, makes for exciting adventures away from the crowds.
Why should I choose Sweden for my adventure?
Northern Lights and Midnight Sun!
Skiers, mountaineers splitboarders, and curious travelers alike all have a desire to see the Northern Lights at least once in their lives. Living a day with 24 hours of sunlight is a rare experience of bucket-list proportion.
Have an Arctic Blast!
Not many countries have an Arctic backyard, so it’s something you have to experience when you visit Sweden. The flora and fauna of this rarely-visited destination is compelling, filled with fan favorites like reindeer. The snow and climate is an adventure in itself.
Kullen Peninsula!
In the southern part of the country, rock climbing and other snow-free activities are wildly popular. The Kullen Peninsula - or Kullaberg - is set in an amazing nature reserve and even features a lighthouse! Take advantage of this oft-unseen part of Swedish nature and dig in to its remarkable beauty.
What can I expect from the weather in Sweden?
Despite its northern location, Sweden is warmer than other countries at the same latitude. The country has an oceanic and continental climate in the south and central regions, and a subarctic climate in the north. You can expect cold winters with cool and comfortable summers.. It is notable for receiving less precipitation than similarly geographically-situated countries.
Which language is predominantly spoken in Sweden?
Swedish
What currency is accepted in Sweden?
Swedish krona (SEK)
How can I get to Sweden?
Stockholm is the main transportation hub for Sweden, offering international flights and easy access to the European countries to its south. Oslo of Norway and Copenhagen of Denmark are very close to the Swedish border, so entering the country through these capital cities is also straightforward. To reach the north of the country, smaller regional airports and quaint country roads will lead you to wilderness destinations like the Lapland area and Abisko.
What’s the country code of Sweden?
+46
What’s the high season in Sweden?
To avoid volatile weather and harsh conditions, most snow savvy travelers seek out Sweden in spring for the most favorable conditions. The snow is abundant while the weather is accommodating. Rock climbing is more enjoyable during the summer months.

Amazing ski touring adventure in the Swedish mountains. Can recommend this trip to both beginners and advanced skiers.

Markus was brilliant, from helping me to develop the idea for the expedition, figuring out a good location, route planning etc, while trying to keep the costs down. Prior to the expedition Markus was really helpful in helping me figure out the right equipment - this differed from my previous expeditions due to both temperature being warmer than I was used to, and the terrain we'd be covering. During the expedition Markus was excellent in communicating what were doing, how we were going to do it, all the while teaching me about navigation, his own methods for winter camping etc etc. Throughout our route, Markus explained to me about Sami culture, why the landscape is as it is, and how it has developed throughout history, meaning I returned far richer for the cultural enlightenment. i couldn't recommend Markus to anyone wanting to head out ski touring or deep wild Nordic skiing. I felt safe and in the right hands the whole time, and thoroughly enjoyed his company. The Explore Share platform was very helping in matching us together - the expedition wouldn't have happened with out them, as so few guides are willing or able to take people out into the extreme wilderness in winter in this way. they matched me with the right guide, so that was perfect. What needs to improve is that they wanted cash paid before I spoke to Markus, which I would never do, because of the complexity of the proposed expedition. We both needed to know each others' abilities and make a sensible plan for the trip before we could commit to it. While I appreciate $Explore share is an introductory service, for which they need a fee, finding a better way for this would be helpful. I was always going to honour the payment once the introduction was made, but obviously some people would attempt to get around it. No matter, I remain satisfied with the explore Share service, and recommend anyone to use it.
