Åre
Åre is Swedens most famous ski resort. Not as far north as you might expect it is still a long way from Stockholm or Gothenburg. Travel there can be done by flying to the nearby airport and taking the bus or the more enjoyable Night Train, sleeping in a cabin and waking up at 8am on arrival in Åre ready to ski.
Duved
To the north of Åre is the town of Duved, much smaller, and with its own small slopes, though most people will head to Åre for their skiing. Accommodation is easier to find here and is cheaper, but you will find that what you save, gets spent on taxis to and from Åre unless you are very organised to take the infrequent bus service.
Ulricehamn
Ulricehamn is a small town with a small ski slopes attached to it. (Its about a 40 minute walk from one to the other, quite tough with a full set of gear!) and accessible from Gothenburg by direct bus, which makes it one of the few public transport accessible ski options near to Gothenburg.
