It’s early in the morning. The doors of the van open, cold air rushes in. Children laugh, ski boots clack on the frozen ground, and there’s the smell of coffee.<\/p>\n

Winter van life is not a trend. It is a decision<\/strong>.
\nA decision to be outdoors, to be active, to spend time together.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We accompanied two families who don’t just experience winter\u2014they live it.
\nOne lives in Sweden, the other in Germany. What they have in common is that winter is family time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1771850745952{margin-top: 40px !important;}” woodmart_css_id=”699c4bef58595″ parallax_scroll=”no” woodmart_sticky_column=”false” wd_collapsible_content_switcher=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_mobile=”no” wd_column_role_content_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_content_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_content_mobile=”no” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_box_shadow=”no” responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2OTljNGJlZjU4NTk1Iiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfY29sdW1uIiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=” mobile_reset_margin=”no” tablet_reset_margin=”no” wd_z_index=”no”]\n\t\t

Emmi & Family \u2013 Winter Van Life in Sweden<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Emelie von Platen, known as Emmi<\/strong>, is 40 years old, Swedish, an athlete, mother, and van lifer.<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2018, she and her husband converted their first camper<\/strong>, followed by conversion of a Peugeot Boxer<\/strong> in 2020.
\nTheir first son was born in 2021, followed by their second son in 2023. Since then, the four of them have been traveling in their Westfalia Columbus 600D<\/strong> with four seats and four beds.<\/p>\n

During their parental leave, they take every opportunity to be on the road together<\/strong>.
\nIn winter, they lived in \u00c5re<\/strong> (Sweden), traveled through the USA<\/strong> in a motorhome for 2.5 months, and spent a lot of time in their van in the Alps, Dolomites, and Pyrenees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And every time<\/strong>, it was clear:
\nThis is it. This is how they want to spend their winters. With their camper in the mountains.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
