SAS has revolutionized winter travel by offering direct flights from Copenhagen, Aalborg, and London to the state-of-the-art Scandinavian Mountains Airport (SCR), granting travelers swift access to the renowned ski destinations of Sälen and Trysil. Located just minutes from over 250 ski slopes across Sweden and Norway, this airport now serves as the premier gateway for winter sports enthusiasts from Denmark, southern Sweden, and the UK seeking exceptional alpine experiences.
Travelers can now enjoy four weekly return flights during the peak winter period, conveniently scheduled to maximize time on the slopes. These flights, available through the winter season until Easter, dramatically reduce transfer times to major resorts such as those managed by SkiStar, with most ski areas reachable within a comfortable 25–40 minute journey from the terminal. SAS and SkiStar’s ongoing partnership further enhances the guest experience, now offering integrated booking solutions that streamline travel and accommodation arrangements for a truly hassle-free ski holiday.
Karl Sandlund, Executive Vice President Commercial at SAS, commented, “We are proud to pioneer international service to Scandinavian Mountains Airport, delivering our guests directly to the heart of Scandinavia’s premier ski region. With efficient schedules, minimal transfer times, and outstanding opportunities for skiing and winter recreation, we continue to invest in our partnership with SkiStar to elevate the travel experience for our passengers.”
The flight duration from Copenhagen and Aalborg to Sälen/Trysil is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, while passengers from London reach their destination in around two hours. Operated by SAS’s modern Airbus 320neo fleet—renowned for its quiet cabin and industry-leading fuel efficiency, offering up to 18% lower CO₂ emissions—these flights reflect SAS’s commitment to sustainable, luxury travel. Since its opening, Scandinavian Mountains Airport has cemented its place as a cornerstone of Nordic winter tourism, and SAS remains at the forefront of connecting international travelers to this exclusive alpine playground.
