Yes - there are taxis in Sälen, but as the area is spread across several ski and chalet areas, transport works differently than in a city. Sälen is made up of several parts such as Lindvallen, Tandådalen, Hundfjället and Högfjället, and the distances between them mean that planning transport can be crucial to a smooth stay.
For many visitors, taxis are a complement to cars, transfers or walking. Particularly during the winter season, when demand is high, it is wise to book transport in advance - especially if you are staying in a remote location or travelling in a large group.
