New Sweden Flights For Nordic Skiers

British skiers will have easier and more affordable access to Sweden’s premier Alpine Region of Sälen this December.

EasyJet is launching weekly direct flights to Scandinavian Mountains Airport from both Manchester and London Gatwick. Prices start at £27.99.

The launch marks the first time that Scandinavian Mountains Airport will be connected directly to the UK by a low-cost carrier. It is just 10 minutes by car to the nearest ski resort of Hundfjället in Sälen where the resort boasts over 188 well-groomed pistes suitable for all skill levels.

The region also offers cosy accommodation, scenic winter trails, top-class Nordic cuisine, and an inviting atmosphere for those seeking both adventure and relaxation.

Gunnar Lenman, CEO of Scandinavian Mountains Airport, said:“Welcoming easyJet with two direct routes from the UK is fantastic news for the airport and the wider region.

"It’s a testament to the growing appeal of Sälen and dramatically improves accessibility for one of our most important international markets. We’re truly excited to welcome more British guests.”

The increased accessibility is already delivering results. During the winter season of 2024/25, overnight stays (bed nights) by British travellers in the region rose by 23.3%^ compared to the previous year. The UK is now the fourth largest international market for the destination — just 600 bed nights behind third place.
