Thanks to the easing of restrictions against Covid-19, SkiStar can finally remove several of precautions, although some will be retained. For example, travelling for all foreign guests visiting our Norwegian destinations will be considerably easier, with no requirement for border testing at entry.
For the sixth time in its nine-year history, Åre brought home "Sweden's best skiing destination" award. SkiStar's Radisson Blu Resort hotel in Trysil won the category of "Norway's best ski hotel".
SkiStar Lodge Hundfjället will now welcome its first guests and visitors looking for an international alpine experience. A family resort close to the slopes that offers every conceivable amenity, opportunity and world-class dining experiences – all under the same roof and with skiing and experiences of nature right outside the door. The SkiStar Lodge Hundfjället opens on 12 December 2021.
With Sweden and Norway's widest and largest alpine skiing offer for all levels, SkiStar is reaffirming its role as the leading holiday tour operator for Scandinavia this winter. In addition to improvements to the ski systems, several new developments will be introduced, ranging from continuing digital solutions, the new SkiStar Lodge Hundfjället to investment in sustainable mountain destinations.
Skiing in the Scandinavian mountains gets even closer for the upcoming winter season as SAS launches their route from London Heathrow to Scandinavian Mountains Airport on December 26th.
The strong trend in Scandinavia of active mountain holidays all year round with family and friends is here to stay. To strengthen its position as the leading holiday tour operator for Scandinavia, SkiStar has decided to sell its shares as majority owner of the ski resort St. Johann in Tirol in Austria. The buyer is the Austrian family company Schultz Gruppe, which operates several ski resorts.
