The Swedish Ski Games (Swedish: Svenska skidspelen) is an annual cross-country skiing event in Sweden, started in Sundsvall in 1947 but moved to Falun in 1959. Up to 1991, ski jumping and Nordic combined skiing were also included as a recurring event. Included were also alpine skiing between 1950–1953 (in Åre) and biathlon in 1984. The event is usually held in February–March as one of the final World Cup competitions during the season. The event is usually held at Lugnet. Lack of snow has sometimes required the event to be moved to other places.[1]
