Christmas gifts for the person who has everything
What do you buy for someone who already has everything? The answer is, of course, an experience! A spa experience, mountain horseback riding, or why not a lesson to hone their skiing technique?
Spa experience – A Christmas gift can't get much more luxurious than a moment of total relaxation. Giving someone a spa experience is like giving them a break from everyday life – time to unwind, breathe out, and just enjoy the warmth, peace, and well-being.
Mountain riding – Whether you are a beginner or an experienced rider, mountain riding is a magical experience that should be on everyone's bucket list. Here you have the chance to discover the mountains in a whole new way – on horseback, in daylight or in the quiet darkness of the evening, where the light of your headlamp leads the way through snow-laden trees.
For those who want to extend the adventure, Trumvallen Fjällridning also offers multi-day tours with food and accommodation included. It will be an exclusive and luxurious winter holiday where time seems to slow down. During your stay, you can look forward to experiences such as snowmobiling on the bare mountains, horse-drawn sleigh rides, horseback riding in fairytale winter landscapes, and cozy evenings in front of the fire. A winter dream that will stay with you for a long time.
Sharpen your cross-country skiing technique – Want to get more out of your days on the cross-country trails? Whether you are a beginner or an experienced skier, a lesson with a certified cross-country coach can provide valuable tips that will improve both your technique and your enjoyment of skiing.
In Vemdalen, there are two operators offering tailor-made lessons – either in groups or as private lessons – and they will meet you wherever suits you best: Klövsjö, Storhogna, Vemdalsskalet, or Björnrike.
Sauna & ice hole – Gather the whole family and treat yourselves to an evening out of the ordinary. At Olmånsgården , a sauna experience awaits where warmth, a peaceful environment, and community are the focus. Enjoy a charcuterie platter, warming food cooked over an open fire, and—for the brave—a refreshing dip in the ice hole. A moment of enjoyment and presence that will become a memory for the whole family.
