Interest in skiing holidays in Scandinavia continues to grow: SkiStar’s seasonal staff recruitment underway

For decades, skiing in winter with family and friends has been a priority for many. According to SkiStar statistics, demand for ski holidays in the Scandinavian mountains continues to be high as we head into the 2023/24 winter season. A large part of the increase comes mainly from international guests. And today marks the start of the recruitment process to find 2 500 seasonal staff for SkiStar’s destinations.

-As we approach late summer and autumn, many people are booking their next ski trip. So it is particularly gratifying that the high interest in booking winter holidays at our ski resorts continues to grow, with the proportion of international guests growing exponentially. The booking situation remains positive, in line with the same levels we saw in our last interim report in June, despite the economic downturn, says Stefan Sjöstrand, CEO of SkiStar.

The most popular weeks for spring half-term and the Christmas/New Year’s season are booking up fast and if you want to get an affordable package of decent lodging and a SkiPass, make sure you take advantage of the book-early-discount today. The Christmas and New Year period also has a more favourable calendar this year compared to last year, with more days off for people to take.

-During the year, the proportion of international guests both increased and returned, undoubtedly due to the currency and affordability. Meanwhile, we hope that all guests will be attracted by the benefits of our wonderful Scandinavian mountain environment and the offer of memorable mountain experiences for the whole family, adds Sjöstrand.

In addition to Swedes and Norwegians booking with SkiStar for the winter, the percentage of other guests is increasing, especially from Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
