Ski resorts in Scandinavian Mountains (Scandes)
The Scandinavian Mountains stretch along the entire peninsula, separating Norway and Sweden. Absolute elevations are modest, but the latitude makes a difference: snow arrives early and lasts until May, while the tree line ends as low as 800 m, leaving the slopes open.
Norway's largest resort is Trysil on the border with Sweden. Nearby are Hafjell, with Lillehammer's Olympic legacy, and Hemsedal, home to the country's steepest terrain. In Sweden, the main ski area is Åre, which regularly hosts World Cup events.
