Anniversary – celebrate this milestone in the mountains
An anniversary – a wedding anniversary, a milestone birthday or a special family occasion – is best celebrated over a whole weekend rather than just one evening. The whole party stays under one roof, speeches are given around the dining table, and no one has to make their way home in the winter darkness afterwards. Our largest house, Gattarstugan, accommodates 24 guests; Sälengodset, Fjällgodset and Winebunker can accommodate 51 between them. There is a sauna in each house and a hot tub in Sälengodset, Fjällgodset and Winebunker. You can arrange dinner, cake and drinks yourselves or through our partners – a chef on site or catering delivered to your door, with a quote provided per group. Winter brings skiing by day and a cosy fire in the evening; summer brings a toast on the terrace in the evening light.
