Are you sick of holidays spent on rickety sunloungers round the same old pool, are your feet itching for adventure? More and more people are abandoning the overcrowded resorts of the Mediterranean for more stimulating holidays that will leave a lifelong memory.
Scandinavia has been growing in popularity as a destination for those who want unique, unforgettable experiences. Sweden, as the centre for cross-country skiing, downhill biking and even snowmobile treks, is at the forefront of this new wave of adventure and excitement.
The island of Gotland, off the east coast and 120 miles south east of Stockholm, is the best place to experience the wealth of natural wonders and activities that Sweden has to offer. With over 100 nature reserves and a national park, walkers can see for themselves some of the world’s most heart-stopping vistas and with fossil safaris, horse riding and sea and river kayaking available, there is an inexhaustible supply of adventure to be had.
The mainland also offers its own unique thrills: Sweden extends into the Arctic Circle, where you can cross-country ski beneath the midnight sun and race across the snowy tundra on a sleek snowmobile. For skiers, the Are Ski Area in the North-western mountains has slopes to challenge all levels of skill, from the enthusiastic learner to the black run aficionado.
