Hammarbybacken Skistar

Flottsbrobacken

The highest and longest ski slope in Stockholm has five downhill slopes, jump ramps, ski rental, and an inn. The resort is located in Huddinge, a suburb about a half-hour by car from central Stockholm, but there are good connections via public transport as well. In the summer, Flottsbrobacken is a popular outdoor recreation area featuring a swimming beach, hiking trails, and a range of activities. The skiing is at a relatively easy level.

Hammarbybacken ski resort

A Stockholm landmark, Hammarbybacken is a popular weekend destination for many Stockholmers during the winter months. Hammarbybacken is easy to reach, either by taking the Tvärbanan-tram to Sickla Kaj or bus number 74. There are five easy-to-ski downhill slopes, a snowboard park, ski school, equipment rental, and a café. The Park Inn Hotel Hammarby, “Stockholm’s first ski hotel,” is located at the foot of the slopes. For the rest of the year, Hammarbybacken is open for other activities including downhill cycling.

If you enjoy the outdoors, the Hellasgården recreation area, 20 minutes from downtown Stockholm, should be on you Stockholm bucket list. Here, you can walk or bike along the paths, or swim by the sandy beach. For the sporty visitor, open-air activities abound, including petanque, beach volleyball, fishing, tennis, canoeing, and yoga. During the winter ice skating and cross-country skiing dominate, with a hole cut in the ice for the bravest swimmers. (There is also a sauna on-site.) Hungry visitors can head to Storstugan, where fika, light lunches, and vegetarian dishes are served.

Lida Nature Reserve is located in Tullinge, just south of Stockholm. The large forest has lots of beautiful nature to experience, a lake for swimming, and several walking paths cutting through the forest. For climbers, there&#x27;s also a high-altitude treetop adventure park and a small parkour track. During winter, the walking paths are turned into cross-country skiing tracks.

Lida Nature Reserve

The world’s first national urban park is a green lung forming an arc more than six miles long, stretching around and through the city.
