Our guests have easy access to all ski areas and can enjoy both downhill and cross-country skiing during New Year's week.

In addition to skiing, you can experience the mountains through snowmobile safaris, snowshoeing or a romantic sleigh ride under the stars. For the adventurous, we also organise guided tours to some of the area's most spectacular viewpoints - perfect for catching the last or first sunrise of the year.

New Year in the mountains is a magical experience for the whole family. Children can enjoy ski school, fun activities in Vallebackarna and exciting adventures in the snow. Several of our chalets are located right next to child-friendly ski areas, making ski holidays easy and convenient for families with children of all ages.

For those who want a festive New Year's Eve celebration, there are several exclusive restaurants offering New Year's Eve suppers with exquisite menus. Enjoy a well-composed meal with carefully selected wines before welcoming the New Year with champagne and spectacular fireworks over the mountain peaks.

After dinner, the celebrations continue with dancing and entertainment at selected après-ski venues and nightclubs. Many of the area's restaurants and bars organise special New Year's Eve events with live music, troubadours and DJs playing well into the early hours.

For a more intimate New Year's Eve experience, you can choose to celebrate in your own cottage or apartment. We offer the possibility to book a private chef who will prepare a customised New Year's menu directly in your accommodation. Enjoy an exclusive meal without having to leave the warmth of your cottage.

Many of our exclusive chalets are equipped with saunas, jacuzzis and spa facilities. What could be more magical than toasting the New Year in a warm outdoor bath under the stars? With snow-covered fir trees all around and maybe even the Northern Lights dancing in the sky, you'll create memories to last a lifetime.

New Year is not only a time for festivities but also an opportunity for reflection and a fresh start. In the silence of the mountains, there is space to look back on the past year and set intentions for what is to come.

For many, New Year in the mountains is an opportunity to get closer to nature and to oneself. A quiet cross-country walk through a snow-covered forest, a meditative stroll under the stars or a hot sauna followed by a refreshing dip in the snow - rituals that create presence and gratitude.

Many of our guests return year after year to celebrate New Year in Sälen. They create their own traditions - from shared New Year's games and reflection exercises to special meals and ceremonies. In the safety of the cabin, there is space to be together in a way that everyday life rarely allows.
