All of the locations listed below have ski rental services, provide ski lessons. Some may require you order your lift passes ahead of time online.




 

Hammarbybacken – Stockholm

The ski season at Hammarbybacken usually begins in mid-December, but take a look at the website for updates when the snowy weather begins. Hammarbybacken has 3 lifts and 5 slopes of all difficulty levels. Since the slopes are in the middle of Stockholm, it’s easy to get there by car (be aware of limited parking), bus, subway, or even by boat.
