Niesmann+Bischoff attracts with winter camping

We had our car in the Alps many years ago, staying about 1 week in each ski resort for a month. It was at -30 that the problems came. Snow chains are recommended. In Sweden it has been taken to Riksgränsen and Björkliden, works well. We have even had a trailer with a scooter behind our old 9.20 m trailer. But as you know, we are now without a carriage. We go to Munich in January for skiing in Austria but we fly down this time.

In my youth in the 1960s, my father and I often travelled with a caravan up to the mountains in Jämtland to go ice fishing. At that time, my father sold Cabby caravans at our petrol station.

I have been winter camping every winter since I started with a motorhome in 1996. The first two cars would not be called winter cars today, but it went well. There were no problems with the heat but a lot of LPG was used. Now I have a real winter car.

Do like AMA, but have never camped;-)

We have done a lot of winter camping. When we had a caravan, we had a seasonal place in Tandådalen for a few years, it was wonderful to sit in the caravan and huddle when there was a snowstorm. When we switched to a motorhome, we were also in Tandådalen several times and went skiing with the grandchildren, that's where they learned to go downhill, it was a cosy time and we did not freeze anything, the cars were Frankia and Concorde which can handle the winter nicely. We have also done winter camping with a motorhome in Zell am Zee, Oberstorf and Garmisch Partenkirchen, it was very nice. Now, however, we choose to spend the winter in the south, perhaps because we have started to get a little older and you have less ailments in the heat.

Winter camping may not be my thing! But it sure looks beautiful!

I have actually winter-camped in Sweden a couple of times, in Sälen and in a rented caravan with two children aged nine, and it worked perfectly well. But it was cold to go to the service centre to shower.
In the Alps, like many others, I prefer hotel/apartment camping and fly down. I usually stay in resorts that have larger lift systems so that you can easily get between the resorts on the same card so I do not need my own car.
But I should also mention that I've actually camped in the snow for real, in a snow bivouac; self dug one for a couple of nights during my gymnastics director training. (We went on a tour between Absiko Nikkaloukta in Lapland and were out for six days).
Later I spent a few nights with my dad in the snow in an igloo and a snow bivouac. So I have tried....Can be recommended for those interested in the outdoors....

In the halcyon days of my youth, every Easter and sports holiday I went with my friend and her family to Sälen where they had a caravan in the seasonal car park. There we lived, her parents, three teenagers and an Irish setter! Today I can ask myself how in heaven's name we got space (there was no tent to store things in), but obviously it went well, and we had fun! (I have no idea how much fun the parents had, but they did it again year after year anyway...)

I agree with you, but I wonder what it would look like if all of the
hotel guests came in motorhomes instead. Trailer park! 🙂
