Unseasonably warm weather is creating challenges for winter sports enthusiasts in Sweden's fjäll regions.

With temperatures reaching 5-10°C, conditions resemble spring rather than winter, leading to wet snow, icy slopes, and snow shortages in southern fjäll areas like Jämtland and Härjedalen.

Experts warn of moderate avalanche risks, particularly in steep terrains, as wet snow weakens and refreezes, creating hazardous surfaces.

Skiers and off-piste adventurers are urged to exercise caution.

While northern fjäll areas still have snow, the overall lack of snow has disrupted activities on state winter trails.

Meteorologists predict slightly colder nights ahead, with some snowfall expected, but the mild trend persists, signaling an early arrival of spring.
