Organising a workshop in the mountains is more than just a change of scenery - it's an investment in creativity, focus and team spirit. In the majestic mountain world of Sälen, the magnificent scenery creates the perfect conditions for innovative thinking and productive meetings. Here, far from the distractions of everyday life, ideas are given room to grow and teams are empowered - whether it's a team building in Sälen or a business retreat in the mountains.

Sälengodset's exclusive cabins offer a unique combination of privacy and convenience, making them ideal for businesses looking for something out of the ordinary. Our spacious accommodation is specifically designed to balance professional needs with relaxing luxury - offering both modern meeting spaces and inviting communal areas for informal conversations. For management teams looking for more focus and structure, we also offer management meetings in mountain hut.

With the mountain peaks as a backdrop and fresh air as fuel, an atmosphere is created where creative processes flow naturally. Our guests testify how workshops in this environment often lead to breakthroughs and decisions that have been difficult to achieve in traditional office environments. There is time for both structured meetings and spontaneous discussions by the fire or during a joint activity in nature.

Creative workshops in the mountains foster co-operation and innovation

Environment that stimulates creativity

Research shows that natural environments significantly increase our creative ability. In the mountains, fresh air, sweeping views and the tranquillity of nature combine to create the perfect environment for thinking outside the box. It gives the brain space to process information in new ways, often leading to innovative solutions and ideas.

Seclusion for focused work

Unlike traditional conference rooms, Sälengodset's cabins offer a private sphere where your team can work undisturbed. No other conference guests, no distractions - just your team and the time you need to immerse yourselves in important issues and processes.
