Planning the Easter break
If you have your Easter break in week 13, it is often still winter in the mountains, and in Norway resorts like Kvitfjell often stay open until late April. The cross-country tracks at Sjusjøen usually last well into April, and we compare all Swedish resorts in ski trips in Sweden.
If you live in Gothenburg or on the west coast, there are activities and day trips in Easter break on the west coast. When the other breaks fall is in winter sports break 2027 and autumn break 2026.
