So, if you've been hooked in by the Meltemi hospitality in the summer, try something different in the winter and visit Peter Bramwell's winter hideout in Sweden.
Since 2000 Peter Bramwell started Meltemi Snowsports here. You can try kitewing, kiteboarding and snowferring. Fabulous new sports on the snow!
Peter has focused his operation around the very unique CRAZY WIGWAM, halfway up the mountain, reached via the lift to tegafalls.
As if the sport isn't enough, the wigwam cafe is a haven for en piste relaxation - whether you laze on one of the many sofas by a wood-burner and enjoy a huge hot chocolate, or a delicious meal, you'll have the most fantastic view across the resort.
Back to the sport... As well as outstanding skiing and boarding, try one of these three sports on snow that are wind powered.
