Tory-Vic has indicated that this thread is about Sweden

I would like to go skiing to Lapland,
from Jan 1st to Jan 14th,
and i would like it to be a ski school or at least there must be a possibility to get a privat coach,
All sites i found start on Feb, do you think there is anything i could find in Jan?
i would love it to be as far from the capitals as possible.....

RiksgrÀnsen is about as far away from civilization you can come. There should be plenty of snow there in January. More info at http://www.stromma.se/en/Riksgransen/Skiing/

Just be assured that up there - the skiing is amongst the most expensive on the planet.
Out of all of them.... Northern Norway does it for me.

Do you some advice on the region?
Happy to help, if I can.

More about Sweden

Once a dearly-expensive destination, travel in Sweden has become economically much more attractive in recent years. Now that the nation's midnight sun, slick cities and historical sites can be enjoyed at a more affordable price, tourism is likely to be on the way up for the Scandinavian state.
