FAM trip: 17-21 February 2027
"Experience an authentic Swedish winter in Västmanland"
Snow crunching beneath your feet, crisp winter air, frozen lakes and a cosy fika break to warm you up along the way. Welcome to winter in Sweden!
On this FAM trip, you'll discover Västmanland and experience just how much winter magic awaits only about an hour west of Stockholm. From outdoor adventures to those wonderfully cosy Swedish moments, there's plenty to explore.
Here's what you can look forward to:
- Embrace the Swedish winter: If the weather and snow conditions allow, glide across natural ice on skates, try cross-country skiing or hop on a traditional Swedish spark (kick sled) for a fun way to explore the winter landscape.
- Follow in the footsteps of wildlife: Strap on your snowshoes and venture into the Malingsbo-Kloten nature area, looking for tracks left by wolves and other wild animals.
- Add a little adventure: Fancy paddling a canoe through a winter wonderland? Or perhaps taking a refreshing dip in icy water? There's more than one way to embrace the cold.
- Get a taste of Sweden: Enjoy cosy fika moments, local flavours and warm encounters with the people who call this region home.
- Warm up, Swedish style: After a day outdoors, unwind in a sauna or spa and settle into unique accommodation that makes winter feel even more special.
- Bring home fresh inspiration: Meet local tourism businesses, discover new experiences and gather plenty of ideas for creating your own Swedish winter travel programmes.
Five days filled with winter adventures, inspiring encounters, fresh ideas and genuinely Swedish moments.
Welcome to Sweden. Welcome to Västmanland!
