Sälen offers several exclusive cabin areas where comfort, location and views create perfect conditions for a memorable mountain holiday. Here we present the most sought-after areas for those looking for that little extra.

Sälfjällstangen is one of Sälen's most exclusive holiday cottage areas, perfectly located with fantastic panoramic views of the mountains. Here you will find Sälengodset's exclusive accommodation Sälengodset and Fjällgodset, which combine luxurious comfort with an authentic mountain feel.

The area offers a perfect sunny location and proximity to both lifts and services. The cabins in Sälfjällstangen are built with a focus on quality, design and functionality - many with generous windows that frame the magnificent mountain view.

For those who value both convenience and privacy, this is an ideal choice. You're just a few minutes' walk from the lift and the shop, while enjoying the peace and quiet of unspoilt nature.

If you want to stay right in the centre of the action, Sälfjällstorget is the obvious choice. This lively area offers a wide range of restaurants, shops and après-ski opportunities right on your doorstep. Here you will find Sälengodset's exclusive Olarslodgen accommodation.

The chalets and apartments here combine a central location with convenient access to ski slopes. After a day on the slopes, you can easily take part in the social life of the area or shop for what you need without having to take the car.

Sälfjällstorget is perfect for groups who value convenience and want to be close to everything - from ski hire and ski school to restaurants and entertainment.

The Högfjäll area offers an authentic mountain experience with proximity to untouched nature and fantastic hiking trails. Here you live next door to the classic Högfjällshotellet and have easy access to Hemfjällsstugan and the start of several popular mountain tours.

The cottages in this area often have a traditional mountain character and many offer spectacular views of the mountain massif. For nature lovers, this is a perfect choice with direct access to cross-country tracks and hiking trails.

In winter, the area's proximity to both downhill and cross-country skiing is appreciated, while summer and autumn offer perfect conditions for hiking and nature experiences.

In addition to the most exclusive areas, there are several other popular cottage areas in Sälen, each with their own unique advantages. Here we present some of the most sought-after options.

Different groups have different needs and priorities. Here, we help you find the area that best matches your preferences.

Families with children often thrive in areas close to children's slopes, activities and services. Lindvallen and Sälfjällstorget are an excellent choice with their central location near Experium water park and Sweden's largest children's area. Tandådalen and Högfjället also offer good options for families with children of different ages.

Important factors to consider:

Groups of friends and larger parties often appreciate spacious accommodation with communal areas and proximity to après-ski and restaurants. Areas such as Sälfjällstorget, Sälfjällstangen and Tandådalen offer good alternatives with larger cabins and lively entertainment.

In Sälfjällstangen you'll find Sälengodset's exclusive cabins, which are perfectly suited to larger groups, with generous social areas, saunas and often hot tubs - ideal for a luxurious mountain holiday with friends.

If you are looking for peace and quiet, areas such as Högfjället, Säljällstangen, Köarsfjället and Gubbmyren are excellent choices. Here you live closer to unspoilt nature and can enjoy tranquillity and spectacular views, while still being reasonably close to services and activities.

These areas are particularly popular in summer and autumn, when the hiking trails beckon and the mountains show off their colours.

If you want to be close to everything, areas like Sälfjällstorget and central Lindvallen are perfect choices. You'll be within walking distance of restaurants, shops, lifts and activities - perfect for those who want to maximise convenience and minimise commuting time.

These central locations are particularly popular during the high season when the pulse is high and the range of events and activities is greatest.

Sälen offers a fantastic variety of cottage areas for all types of visitors. Whether you prioritise ski in/ski out, child-friendliness, proximity to services or privacy, there is an area to suit your needs.

For the ultimate mountain experience, we recommend Sälfjällstangen, where Sälengodset offers exclusive accommodation with a perfect location, magnificent views and the highest level of comfort. It combines the best of Sälen - proximity to skiing, beautiful nature and luxurious relaxation.
