Living in Stockholm


Stockholm is a major international city with great shopping, quality restaurants in abundance, fabulous hotels, an internationally renowned club and music scene and a vibrant cultural life. All of this is combined with the sheer natural beauty for which Sweden is famous.


Avalanche Studios is located in central Stockholm, close to great restaurants, lively bars, diverse entertainment and mass transportation.

Our state-of-the-art studio is located in the beautiful area of Södermalm, in the center of Stockholm, close to bars, restaurants and shops. This provides great opportunities for our staff to get together in regular social events such as concerts, soccer clubs or even just Friday beers. We also offer weekly yoga and free massages in our accommodated studio.

We’ve collected a few links below that will give you an insight into what Sweden and Stockholm have to offer.
