Sälen is our closest mountain destination and also northern Europe's largest ski resort – offering room for quiet evenings by the fire as well as lively après-ski and top-notch restaurants. Here, families, couples, and groups of friends alike will find their perfect experience. Our three ski destinations – Martebäcken/Lindvallen, Tandådalen, and Stöten – each have their own distinct atmosphere and character. Whether you're just starting out on skis, chasing steep black runs, prefer telemark, or would rather glide along the cross-country trails, there's a spot here that's right for you.

But Sälenfjällen is far from just a winter destination. Once the snow melts away, a whole different mountain landscape opens up – with mile after mile of hiking trails through untouched wilderness, cycling and mountain biking trails for beginners and thrill-seekers alike, and fishing in crystal-clear mountain lakes and streams. In late summer, the forests and fields are also rich with berries, a wonderful way to experience the mountain nature up close and round off the day with a homemade dessert. Whether it's snow or summer greenery that draws you in, adventure awaits here all year round. And thanks to the allemansrätten – Sweden's unique "right to roam" – you're free to hike, fish, and forage for mushrooms and berries almost anywhere in nature, regardless of who owns the land. It's a remarkable freedom that doesn't exist in most other countries, giving you unmatched access to explore the mountains exactly as you please.
