Sports holidays are the high season in Sälen. The slopes fill up, the restaurants are buzzing, and chalets near the lifts book up quickly. It's a magical time for families to ski together.

But it also poses a challenge. Finding the right accommodation during week 7, 8 or 9 requires planning. The best locations disappear early. Small cottages become too cramped. Poorly located accommodation creates unnecessary stress.

We offer accommodation in Sälen sports holidays where every detail is thought out. The right size. The right location. The right comfort. So you can focus on what matters - time with your family in the mountains.

Secure your property before it's too late

Weeks 7, 8 and 9 are Sälen's most popular periods. Our premium chalets close to lifts go fast. Contact us today and let us find the perfect accommodation for your family or group.

Why choose the right accommodation during the sports holidays

The sports holidays are no ordinary week in Sälen. It is the most intense period of the year. More people. More activity. Higher expectations. Accommodation that works in April may feel too small in February.

That's why the details matter. Location determines how much time you spend in the car. Size determines whether everyone gets their own space. Equipment determines whether you can relax - or whether you have to supplement with purchases on the first day.

What really matters

  • Location close to lifts - Less transport means more time on the snow and less stress with children
  • The right size - Enough bedrooms, bathrooms and space for everyone to breathe
  • Smart floor plan - Open spaces for socialising, private rooms for relaxation
  • Complete equipment - Sauna, drying cabinet, well-equipped kitchen - all on site
  • Flexible booking - Clear terms and personalised service when you need help

Accommodation during the sports holidays should not only give you a place to sleep. It should allow you to enjoy the mountains without compromise.

Who is our accommodation suitable for

We have created accommodation for those who understand that details matter. Families who don't want to compromise on comfort. Groups looking for space and elegance. Companies that want to give their employees an extraordinary experience.

Families seeking quality

You are four, five or six people. The children are of different ages. You want to be close to the lift without living in the centre of the action. Bedrooms for everyone. A sauna for relaxing after a day of skiing. A kitchen where you can cook real meals together.

Our family holiday cottages give you the space to spend time together and time on your own. Open-plan layouts for shared moments. Separate bedrooms for peace and quiet. Play space for the younger ones. Comfort for you all.

Groups that want to be accommodated

You are friends who meet every year. Three, four families together. Maybe eight, ten or twelve people. Then you need more than a cottage - you need a home for the whole group.

Large common areas. Enough bedrooms and bathrooms. Dining table that can accommodate everyone. Sauna where half the group can fit. We offer cabins where you can be together without falling over each other.

Companies that want to invest in their people

A corporate event should not feel like a standard package. It should be thoughtful, exclusive and memorable. Our premium cabins work just as well for board meetings as for team building.

Professional standard. Fast wifi. Flexible spaces for both work and relaxation. We make sure the logistics work - so you can focus on your group.

What you can expect

We have been in the mountains for over 50 years. We know what's missing in other cabins. We know what details make a difference when the family has unpacked and is about to start its sports holiday week.

Fully equipped cabins

Our cabins come with everything you need. Not the bare essentials. Everything you need. Drying cabinets for your ski clothes. Sauna for recovery. Dishwasher so no one has to stand at the sink after dinner. Washing machine if someone gets wet.

The kitchen is equipped like a real kitchen. Sharp knives. Proper pots and pans. Enough plates even when there are lots of you. We've thought of the details - so you don't have to.

Plenty of room for everyone

Sports holidays shouldn't be spent in a cabin where everyone feels cramped. Our accommodation is designed for real comfort. Large bedrooms with real beds. Living rooms that fit the whole family on the sofa. Bathrooms that don't become a bottleneck in the morning.

Space means freedom. Freedom to spread out. To find your own corner when you need peace. To gather when you want to be together.

Proximity to lifts without compromise

We're not saying that all our chalets are ski in ski out. But we are saying that the location is always well thought out. Close enough for the logistics to work. Far enough away that you get peace and quiet and a view.

During the sports holidays, proximity is worth its weight in gold. Less time in the car. Less packing. More time on the snow. We choose locations where you save energy - and invest it in the experience instead.

Discover our available accommodation

Each chalet has its own character. Some are close to the lift. Others offer privacy and views. Explore our range and find the one that suits your group.

Location and planning during the high season

Sälen is big. Lindvallen, Högfjället, Tandådalen - each area has its own character. During the sports holidays, location matters more than ever. More people. Full in the lift queue. More difficult to park.

Accommodation in the right location will save you hours during the week. Less transport. Less repacking. More time where you want to be - on the snow or in the cabin.

Why location determines the whole experience

Proximity to the lift is not just about convenience. It's about being able to grab a quick ride in the morning and be back for lunch. About the kids being able to get to school on their own. About not having to pack the car every morning.

At the same time, you don't want to live in the middle of the chaos. You want a view. Peace and quiet in the evening. Space to park. Our cottages are located where the balance is right - close enough for convenience, secluded enough for relaxation.

Think about logistics now

  • How far is the nearest lift?
  • Is there parking at the cottage?
  • Do the children reach the ski school themselves?
  • What about a supermarket and restaurants nearby?
  • Can you go to other areas if you want to vary?

These issues matter more than you might think. Especially when you have children. Especially when it's a sports holiday and everyone is there at the same time.

Different types of accommodation

We do not believe that everyone should live the same way. Families have different needs. Groups have different priorities. That's why we offer different types of accommodation - all of the same high standard, but of different character and size.

Not sure which type of accommodation is best for you?

We help you find the right holiday home for your group

Plan your sports holidays well in advance

The sports holidays are not a spontaneous trip. Not in Sälen. Not if you want accommodation that really works. The best holiday cottages are booked months in advance. Sometimes a whole year before.

It is not to scare you. It's to help you plan right. The sooner you act, the better chance you have of getting exactly the holiday home you want. In the location you want. During the week that suits your family.

Calendar showing sports holidays weeks with dates highlighted

Week 7, 8 or 9 - which one is right for you?

The sports holidays are spread over three weeks in Sweden. Stockholm usually has week 9. Gothenburg often week 8. North of the country week 7. This means that demand varies between weeks depending on where people come from.

Week 8 is usually the most popular - it coincides with several regions' sports holidays. If you have flexibility, week 7 or 9 may give you more options and sometimes better prices. But whichever week you choose - book well in advance.

What you should consider when planning

Size and number of beds

Don't count too cheaply. Children grow. Friends want to keep up. An extra bed can be the difference between crowding and comfort.

  • Include everyone who will be living
  • Consider if children share a room
  • Planning for adults who want to have their own
  • Don't forget that children will soon become teenagers

Location in relation to lifts

During the sports holidays, every minute in the car is one less minute on the snow. Think about how much transport you are willing to accept.

  • How far is the nearest lift?
  • Is it possible to walk or do you need a car?
  • Is there a ski school nearby for the children?
  • What is the car park like at the lift?

Sauna and recovery

After a day on the snow, a sauna is worth its weight in gold. It's not a luxury - it's an essential comfort for a week in the mountains.

  • Does the holiday home include a sauna?
  • How big is the sauna?
  • Are there drying cabinets for ski clothes?
  • Pool or hot tub for extra relaxation?

Equipment and amenities

Small details make a difference. Dishwasher. Washing machine. Wifi. Drying cabinet. Check that everything you expect is really included.

  • Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher
  • Laundry facilities if needed
  • Fast Wi-Fi for all devices
  • Sufficient beds and towels

Book early - or risk missing out

We cannot emphasise this enough. Sports holidays in Sälen are high season. Cottages that are well located and of a high standard disappear quickly. If you wait until January, your options will be limited.

Many of our guests book the same week year after year. They know what they're getting. They know that the holiday cottage works. And they don't want to risk someone else getting there first.

Why choose Sälengodset

We've been in Sälen since 1972. That means we don't just rent out cottages - we understand the mountains. We know what works. We know what guests miss. And we know what makes the difference between an ok week and an unforgettable sports holiday.

Sälengodset office and staff welcoming guests

Over 50 years of experience

When you book through us, you get more than a holiday cottage. You get access to knowledge. We know which cottages are suitable for families with children. Which ones work for large groups. Which ones have the best views. Which ones are closest to the lift you prefer.

We have seen trends come and go. We've adapted our cottages to what guests really need. Not what looks good in pictures - what works when you're staying there for a whole week.

Personalised service when you need it

We are not an app. We are not a booking platform. We are people who work here. Who live here. Who love the mountains as much as you do.

When you call us, you will speak to someone who can help you. When something doesn't work in your holiday home, you'll get a quick response. When you have questions before arrival, we're here. That's the difference between renting a holiday home and being looked after.

What our guests say

Many come back year after year. Some book the same cottage. Others want to try something new - but they always book through us. Because they know that the standard is maintained. That the cottage is as described. That we are there when they need us.

It is not chance. It's the result of caring. About the details. About the guest. About delivering what we promise.

Satisfied guests enjoying their stay in Sälen

Cottages that measure up

We only offer accommodation we would stay in ourselves. That's our standard. Before a holiday home becomes part of our offer, we go through it. Check that it lives up to our promises. Make sure the equipment works. That the cleanliness is impeccable. That the feel is right.

You should be able to trust that the picture is accurate. That the description is honest. That when you open the door for the first time, you feel you've made the right choice.

Make your sports holidays memorable

Sports holidays come once a year. A week when the whole family has time. When the children are free. When the mountains beckon. It's a week you want to remember - not a week you regret because the accommodation wasn't up to scratch.

The right accommodation makes a difference. It gives you more time together. Less stress. More energy for what really matters. More room for spontaneous moments and shared memories.

We can't give you snow. We can't guarantee blue skies. But we can give you accommodation where everything else works. Where you can relax. Where the logistics flow. Where the chalet feels like home - but in the mountains.

Secure your property before it's too late

Weeks 7, 8 and 9 go by quickly. With each passing day, your options are narrowing. The best locations. The cottages that fit perfectly. They disappear to those who act now.

You don't have to choose today. But you do need to check availability. See what's left. Compare cottages. Ask questions. The sooner you do, the more likely you are to get exactly what you want.
