Are you organising a hen night for someone who means the world to you? Forget a rowdy night out at the pub. With Sälen, you can gather your girlfriends in your very own mountain cabin and enjoy a whole weekend together – leisurely breakfasts, bubbly in the hot tub, dinner cooked by someone else, and as much fun as you can handle.
With us, you book an entire house just for yourselves. That means your own spa with a sauna, a kitchen where you can get creative or let a chef take over, and plenty of beds so the whole group can stay in one place. We’d be happy to help you arrange catering, drinks and activities – you just need to decide what you fancy.
This page is part of our collection of event pages, where we also offer tips on stag parties, party venues, anniversaries and pure wellness weekends in the mountains.
Hen party at Sälen – the girls’ weekend everyone will be talking about for years to come
What makes Sälen so ideal for a hen party is the combination of proximity and freedom. You have the mountains right on your doorstep, yet you have a completely private house where no outsiders will disturb you. No queues, no strangers at the next table – just your group, your music and your weekend. It’s hard to beat when the aim is for the bride-to-be to feel truly celebrated.
The mountain setting that makes the meeting with the bride magical
The landscape sets the mood for you. In winter, the snow glistens and you can go skiing or sledging between hot tub sessions. In summer, the mountains are green and the evenings are long and light – perfect for a glass of wine on the terrace as the sun sinks behind the peaks. Whichever season you choose, you’ll be treated to a setting that no city venue can match.
Where you choose to celebrate is up to you: outdoors with a view of the valley, in the relaxation area with a drink in hand, or around the dining table as the evening gets underway. The house is your stage and you write the script.
All to yourselves – no chance of bumping into other guests
A hen party is best kept private. When the group has the house to themselves, everyone feels free to let their hair down – you can dance in your pyjamas, record messages for the bride and chat long into the night without anyone batting an eyelid. It’s that freedom that makes the weekend truly your own.
No reception, no neighbours in the next room, no check-out time to stress you out in the morning. You’re in charge of the house from the moment you arrive until you leave, and you can organise your day exactly as you like.
Laughter, bubbly and memories with the girls’ gang
It’s the little things that stick in your mind: the laughter when someone slips in the snow, the silence in the sauna after a long day, the clinking of glasses in a toast to the bride. A weekend spent together creates the sort of memories that resurface in the wedding speech several months later.
The cottages we’re opening for your girls’ weekend
We have a range of properties to suit groups of girls of various sizes. Would you prefer luxury with a large relaxation area, or a cosier place to stay closer to the slopes?

Take your girls’ weekend from fun to unforgettable
A really great hen party is all about the little details. Here are a few ways to take your girls’ weekend from simply ‘nice’ to something the gang will be talking about for years to come.
When food becomes part of the party
The food is often the highlight of a hen party. With us, you won’t have to spend the whole weekend in the kitchen – let a chef prepare dinner whilst you focus on what really matters: celebrating the bride. Everything is served in your own home, in peace and quiet, just when you’re ready to sit down to eat.
Your own chef to cook your hen night dinner
Imagine a multi-course dinner laid out in the cottage, tailored to your tastes and any dietary restrictions. The chef does the shopping, cooks and clears up – all you have to do is enjoy yourselves and raise a glass.
Would you like a themed evening, a sparkling wine tasting to go with the starter, or a cake for the bride? Just let us know in advance, and we’ll make sure the evening is just as festive as you’ve imagined. This is the hen dinner you’ll remember.
Drinks packages and catering – all sorted for you
If you’d prefer to keep things simple, there are ready-made catering options and drinks packages available. That way, you’ll have great food and drink on hand without anyone in the group having to lift a finger.
From a welcome glass of bubbly on arrival to a late-night snack after the dance – we’ll help you put together a meal plan that fits the pace of the weekend. Breakfast when you wake up, something light midday, and a dinner that’s the highlight of the evening.
Breakfast, brunch and an evening party all under one roof
A hen weekend involves more than just one meal. Imagine a leisurely morning with coffee on the terrace, a hearty brunch before the day’s adventures, and then a festive dinner in the evening – all under one roof, at your own pace.
We’ll take care of everything; you just sit back and enjoy it.
- A private chef who cooks at the holiday cottage
- Catering delivered to your door
- Drinks and sparkling wine packages for a girls’ weekend
- Breakfast and brunch served on site
- A cake or a surprise for the bride
Whether you’re after a fine dinner or a cosy buffet, we’ll take care of the food so you can focus entirely on enjoying time with your friends.
Delicious flavours to brighten up your whole weekend
Good food, good drink and no stress – that’s what makes for a perfect weekend.
A girls’ weekend that works just as well in summer as it does in winter
The great thing about Sälen is that a hen party works all year round. Every season has its own charm, so you can choose the one that suits the bride and the gang best – snow and heart-pumping slopes, or sunshine and late, light evenings.
A snow-sparkling hen party in the middle of winter
In winter, a girls’ weekend feels like a fairy tale. Snow-capped mountains, skiing by day and a hot tub under the open sky as darkness falls.
Imagine stepping out of the sauna straight into the snow, or raising a glass of mulled wine whilst the snowflakes fall. A winter hen party at Sälen offers that cosy, intimate atmosphere that few other places can match.
Perfect for groups who enjoy skiing, a peaceful, relaxing break and cosy evenings indoors.
Bright summer evenings in the mountains
In summer, the mountains reveal a completely different side – green, bright and full of life right into the late evenings.
Go for a walk, have a swim in the mountain lakes or just relax on the terrace with a drink whilst the sun never quite sets. The summer getaway is perfect for those of you who want to get active, spend time outdoors and round off the day with a long dinner in the evening light. Just as memorable as the winter version, but in shorts.
Whatever the season, the house is your cosy base to return to after a day’s adventures.
Sälen is more than just a ski resort – it’s a place that gives a girls’ weekend a setting all of its own. Fresh air, sweeping views and a break from the stresses of everyday life mean that everyone in the group can really switch off. There’s room here for both action and complete relaxation – just as a good hen do should be.
Welcome to your dream weekend in the mountains.
This is the place you’ve been looking for
A hen night at Sälen isn’t just an evening that ends at midnight – it’s a whole day or two spent together. You’ll have time to settle in, really get to know each other and build that sense of togetherness that only comes about when everyone’s under the same roof.
A whole weekend – not just a dinner
There’s a difference between spending a few hours together and sharing a whole weekend. You wake up together, have coffee together and fall asleep together – and in between, there’s room for everything that makes a hen party special. The bride-to-be doesn’t just get a party, but a weekend full of quality time together.
Sleep, wake up and have a coffee break together
When the whole gang stays together, all the logistical hassle disappears. No taxis between venues, no one who has to go home early – just you, the house and the time to really enjoy each other’s company.
Set the pace entirely for yourselves
You’re in charge of the weekend. Do you fancy a relaxing day at the spa followed by a night out, or action-packed activities from morning till night? There’s no set schedule to hold you back. The girls’ weekend is shaped entirely by what your group fancies doing.
Moments you’ll be talking about for a long time to come
The best moments can’t be planned in advance – they just happen naturally when you have time and peace together. A chat in the sauna, a spontaneous dance in the kitchen, laughter that seems to go on forever. Those are the moments you’ll remember.
A quiet, relaxing day, a party in the evening – you decide the balance.
Would you like to fill your weekend with activities or just relax? Both work just as well here.
Your hen party, your rules
Plan your hen party exactly as you want it – no musts, just possibilities.
Spice up your weekend with some out-of-the-ordinary experiences
If you’d like to make the most of your weekend, there’s plenty more to add. From spa treatments to guided activities in the mountains – we’ll help you organise whatever makes your girls’ weekend extra special. Just tell us what you’re dreaming of and we’ll sort the rest.
Spa and relaxation when your body needs to unwind
Book some time in the relaxation area, a massage or a peaceful spa evening just for the gang.
Sometimes, the best thing is simply to do nothing at all. A private relaxation area with a sauna and hot tub quickly becomes the favourite spot of the weekend – perfect for unwinding between the laughter and the partying.
Add some treatments if you fancy a bit of extra pampering. A massage or facial in the cottage will add a special touch to the hen party and make everyone feel celebrated.
Smart extras that enhance the experience
Smart extras to make your weekend hassle-free and festive.
We can arrange just about anything to enhance the experience: a private chef, a catering service, a drinks package, transport, cleaning and spa treatments at the cottage. The idea is simple – you should be able to focus on each other and the bride, whilst we take care of the details in the background. Just let us know what you’d like.
Let us know what you’d like, and we’ll put together a programme tailored specifically to your hen party.
Come up with something fun to do together
Come up with something together that the whole group will enjoy.
Depending on the season, there’s plenty to do: skiing and snowmobiling in winter, hiking and swimming in summer, or why not organise a group competition, quiz or challenge in honour of the bride? We’d be happy to recommend activities in the area.
The most important thing is that you do it together. An activity that makes everyone laugh often becomes the best memory of the weekend – and the perfect thing to tease the bride about in your wedding speech.
Put together your own dream weekend
With accommodation, food, relaxation and activities all in one place, it’s easy to put together a complete hen party experience. You choose the elements, and we’ll put it all together for you.
