Direct Flights from Heathrow to Scandinavian Mountains To Resume
Published : 07-Aug-2024 06:24
SAS airlines will resume the service launched between Heathrow and the recently built Scandinavian Mountains Airport this winter.
Flights will run on Sundays in the latter half of the season between 2nd February and 30th March 2025, taking in the February school holidays with prices from GBP 258.09 per person return.
The direct service operated before the pandemic and it marks a resumption in services that has seen ski flights come back even greater numbers than they were before.
Describing the relaunched service as, "The moment British skiers and adventure-seeking families have been waiting for," a statement from Swedish tourism promotion body Visit Sweden said that visits to Sälen/Trysil, the Swedish and Norwegian ski resorts that are served by the airport which sits on the border of the two countries, rose to over 26,000 bed nights, putting it in 5th place as the most visited region by British visitors to Sweden.
Hundfjället/Tandådalen ski resorts on the Swedish side, part of Sälen, are just a 10-minute transfer away with Sälen itself only 25 minutes from Scandinavian Mountains Airport. It is the largest skiing area in Sweden suitable for both beginners and advanced skiers. The area is made up of four separate areas, Lindvallen, Högfjället, and Tandådalen/ Hundfjället, with over 100 slopes between them.
Both Sälen and Trysil are owned by the Skistar group, the largest ski resort operator in Scandinavia and also a major investor in the airport.
