Östersund – Winter experiences in the city with mountain views

Jämtland Härjedalen’s largest city, Östersund, offers many winter activities just 15 minutes from Åre/Östersund Airport for those who want more than just skiing on a winter holiday in Sweden. The city is located right by Sweden’s fifth-largest lake, Storsjö. In winter, the lake freezes over, providing opportunities for ice skating, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing. On the island of Frösön, opposite the city, there are three lifts with several slopes and jumps.
