Mon, 20 Oct 2008

Swedish tourism is set to be boosted by a number of developments this winter to cater for an anticipated rise in visitors, the country’s tourism organisation has revealed.

According to VisitSweden, winter tourists are to benefit from a wider range of accommodation, a number of new excursions and extra ski facilities.

Accommodation at the popular ski resort of Are is being expanded with the development of a new design-led hotel, a hostel and a chalet, all due to open during the 2008-09 season.

Work is underway at Swedish Lapland's Icehotel, with energy provider Gavle Energi helping to make the hotel carbon negative using wind energy, biofuel and solar power .

Adventurous tourists to Swedish Lapland will be able to take part in a number of new excursions over the coming season, including racing in electric buggies, ice-fishing and ice-diving .

Winter visitors will also be able to attend the opening of the Copperhill Mountain Lodge at the summit of Mount Forberget on 8 December.

The construction of the lodge is being overseen by architect Peter Bohlin, the man responsible for the home of Bill Gates, and will provide visitors with ski-in, ski-out facilities, as well as 112 rooms and suites .
