Why Sälen

Everyone in the group skis. Nobody sits it out.

Sälen is not one resort but four on the same pass: Lindvallen, Högfjället, Tandådalen and Hundfjället. Everything sits below the tree line, which means calm wind and something to look at on days that would close a higher mountain – and a beginner and a good skier can start the morning from the same door.

Four areas, one pass

Lindvallen and Högfjället are linked, Tandådalen and Hundfjället share their own mountain, and the ski bus runs between all four.

Ten minutes from the plane

Scandinavian Mountains Airport lands you 10–25 minutes from any of the four areas, with direct flights from Copenhagen in season.

Something for the grey days

Experium at Lindvallen: indoor adventure pool and a surf wave for the afternoon the weather turns. Night skiing in all four areas.

Where to stay

Cabins first. Then apartments and ski-in lodges.

The cabin is the Sälen classic – sauna, room for two families, parking at the door. If you would rather not cook, the lodges and hotels sit right at the lifts.

Cabins with sauna

Room for two families, drying cupboard, parking at the door and the trail a short walk away.
