Sweden offers active families a natural outdoor playground on a whole new level, especially in the summer. Scandinavia basks in long hours of daylight from June until September – excellent for exploring the outdoor with the family.
Just a short haul flight away there are pristine wilderness areas in places like Varmland, which are just made for outdoor family adventures. Hike through quiet forests or explore by bike on the numerous cycling and mountain biking trails. Paddle across lakes in canoes and kayaks, then float down meandering rivers on a Huckleberry-Finn style timber raft.
If you prefer the call of the sea, southern Sweden boasts stretches of beautiful coastline around Skane and island archipelagos, such as the Koster Islands, to discover. Swim, cycle, snorkel and experience a taste of Scandinavian summer living – add an extra cultural dimension to this by including time in historic maritime cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg.
Sweden also offers some great family holiday options in winter focussing on snow fun and chances to see the northern lights. Younger children will love the possibility of meeting Santa on our carefully crafted breaks in Lapland.
It’s not just about where you go, but how you experience it. I’m here to turn that trip into an adventure you’ll cherish.
