Lost French guy...

[Nalex]

Hej hej !

I'm from France and I'm here in Sweden to study for the whole year in Linköping (not the best place to go to ski). So I'd like to discover Scandinavian moutains, but I don't know anything about the places where to go for freeriding and backcountry skiing... So I'm looking for people who would like to show me some parts of your huge territory !

Of course, for my part, I'll enjoy to show you French mountains when I'll be back in France, especially Serre Chevalier where I've been skiing for 18 years...

Otherwise, if you could give me any tips to go to ski in Sweden or Norway, I'll be very happy.

Tack så mycket !
Alex

Hej Nalex!

If you wan´t to backcountry skiing i think Riksgränsen is the best place in Sweden, also Kittelfjäll, Abisko and Narvik in Norway..
I have been in Serre Chevalier, it´s a very nice mountain whit good skiing. You are lucky who have so big mountains in your country.

In Sweden we have no real mountains, it´s most like a plätta.

Hejdå!

The best backcounty skiing in scandinavia is to be found in Riksgränsen, kittlefjäll, abisko and narvik.

I don't know how muck time you will have to travel around. If you'd like to just go ski over the weekend i think for you it would be a lot better to gå to Åre. Its really easy to go there just jump on the train. Åre is doest offer as good backcountry skiing as those mentiond above but it does offer th longest slopes in Sweden. Plus in the highseason the backcounty is ok the there anyway.

Welcome to Sweden by the way. I hope you'll enjoy your stay.

(Som bigair sa, ni får vill får klaga på min engeska me, vet att den e rätt kass)

Kom även ihåg att denna fransman söker folk att åka skidor med, så om någon åksugen snubbe vill ha en till i gänget kan ni ju ta med Alex nån gång!

bigair, det kallas grammatik, vissa av oss använder sig av det.

je ne sais pas d'ou tu viens et quelle est ton experience en ski...si tu veux du denivellé et de la pente et du bon ski hors pistes, Narvik, ses environs, et Lyngen , c'est bien.
Attention climat capricieux et conditions changeantes selon saisons ou périodes...mais finalement comme partout maintenant.
A plus

Salut Nalex,
j'ai vu que tout le monde ont recommandé Narvik et Riksgränsen et tout ca, mais comme tu habites à Linköping c'est très loin d'y aller et si tu n'a pas le temps ou les moyens c'est plus facile d'aller à Åre pour exemple! Si tu vas y aller, écris moi un FR-mail ici, je viens d'Åre et je vais retourner après noël quand j'ai fini mes études à Sthlm. Je peux te montrer tous les petits endroits secrets de la montagne Åreskutan En plus, il faut vraiment que je pratique mon francais!!
Bonne chance
