Little-known European airport with direct UK flights where holidaymakers can travel by sleigh to their hotel

HOLIDAYMAKERS landing at Scandinavian Mountains Airport in Sweden can take a sleigh or a snowmobile to their hotel.

Located in the Scandinavian Mountains in Sweden, Scandinavian Mountains Airport, which is also known as Sälen Trysil Airport, has a rather unusual transfer feature.

Holidaymakers touching down at the Swedish airport can ditch the coach in favour of a dog sled or a snowmobile ride to their hotel.

The transfers can be booked via several airport partners.

These companies will transport luggage, while holidaymakers arrive to the hotel in style.

Scandinavian Airlines operates direct flights from London Heathrow to Scandinavian Mountains Airport.

Flights will operate on selected Sundays in February and April, with Sun Online Travel finding one-way fares from £67 per person.

Located in the middle of Sweden's largest alpine ski area, the newly-built airport is well-connected to plenty of ski resorts.

One of those is Sälen, which is the largest ski resort in the country.

And because of its proximity to the Norwegian border, the travel hub is also well-placed as a transfer option for Trysil - Norway's largest ski resort.

The region surrounding the airport has four ski resorts that have more than 100,000 beds in hotels, apartments and cottages.

There are thought to be around 250 slopes in the area too, making it a dream destination for skiers and snowboarders.

Scandinavian Mountains Airport isn't the only airport in the world to have an unusual feature because Munich Airport has its very own Christmas market.

Located at the Munich Airport Center, an area that connects the two terminals, visitors can expect to find two ice rinks and 50 market stalls.

This year, the Christmas market has over 50 stalls that sell a range of handmade items and local festive delicacies like lebkuchen (gingerbread), wurst (sausage) and reibekuchen (potato pancakes).

Further afield, there are two airports in Bangkok, Thailand, which also have unusual features.

Suvarnabhumi Airport has a bike track that snakes around the airport's perimeter.

Located in the north-eastern corner of the airport, the 14.6mile cycling park is accessible to cyclists, joggers and walkers.

Meanwhile, 18 miles northwest of Suvarnabhumi lies Don Mueang International Airport.

Don Mueang International Airport has a golf course that's sandwiched between the airport's two active runways.

Kantarat Golf Course is the only golf course in the world situated within an international airport’s airfield.

With no high fences or walls separating the golf course from the active runways, players can enjoy the panoramic views of aircraft in motion.

Prices are relatively cheap too, costing just 320 Baht (£7.22) for a round from Monday to Friday, according to 1Golf.eu.

Meanwhile, these are some of the best and worst airports to visit in the UK.

And this little-known UK airport could relaunch passenger flights for the first time in almost 20 years.
