About Östersund
Östersund is on Lake Storsjön in Jämtland, with the island of Frösön across the Frösö bridge. The town is known for winter sports, biathlon in particular, and the Jamtli open-air museum runs children's activities during the breaks. Because winter lasts a long time here, the winter sports break comes late, and the municipality publishes break dates two school years at a time.
