Summer conference in Sälen - activities and experiences that strengthen the team
Hiking and cycling in the mountains
Going on a guided hike in Sälen is a perfect way to bring the group together without screens and stress. The trails are suitable for all levels and offer panoramic views of the mountains. You can choose shorter walks to break up the working day or longer day hikes for a good dose of nature and exercise.
For those who prefer a bit of speed under their feet, the Sälen Bike Park is an obvious choice. It offers everything from beginner trails to advanced downhill courses. Cycling together creates energy and a great flow in the group.
Fishing, canoeing and nature experiences
Sälen is rich in rivers and lakes where you can book guided canoeing or try fishing in a mountain environment. Sitting in a canoe on mirror-like water is an activity that provides both peace and time for reflection.
If you want to learn more about the flora and fauna of the mountains, we can book guided nature experiences. This is usually a highlight of the conference - perfect for deepening the understanding of the environment you are in.
