Winter Activities – Beyond Skiing

5 Amazing Winter Activities Beyond Skiing

A mountain getaway is often associated with skiing, but winter at Idre Fjäll offers so much more. Whether you need a break from skiing or simply want to try something different, we have the perfect activities for you to enjoy the crisp winter air and breathtaking nature. Here are five unforgettable winter experiences on the mountain!


1. Ride a Dog Sled Through Snowy Mountains

Few things compare to the thrill of a dog sled ride across snowy peaks on a crisp winter day. Snuggle up on reindeer skins and cushions, and let our enthusiastic Siberian huskies pull you through the stunning winter landscape. If you’re up for an adventure, you can even drive your own sled and experience life as a true musher (sled driver). Of course, there's time to cuddle with the friendly huskies after the ride!

4. Meet Friendly Reindeer & Experience Sámi Culture

Get up close with tame reindeer and explore the fascinating world of Sámi culture. Animal lovers will love the experience of feeding a reindeer straight from their hand and feeling their soft muzzles as they eat. For an even more immersive experience, strap on snowshoes and go on a guided trek with the reindeer, all while learning about the eight seasons of reindeer herding.

5. Ice Fishing on a Frozen Lake

Venturing out onto a sparkling frozen lake for ice fishing on a sunny winter day is pure magic! Enjoy the peace and silence of the ice as you patiently wait for the fish to bite. With a bit of luck, you might catch the prized Arctic char, which can then be cooked over an open fire for an unforgettable outdoor meal.
