Shop smart - tips for mountain holidays
During the high season, it is wise to buy basic goods on arrival, especially if you are travelling on a Saturday when many guests change. Several shops offer online ordering with pick-up - a perfect way to avoid crowds. For larger groups we recommend accommodation with electric car charging and ample parking near the entrance, so you can easily combine weekly shopping and transport. Fresh local produce such as mountain sausages, goat's cheese and jams can often be found in the local corners of the shops, adding a touch of Dalarna to the food.
Catering and ready meals as alternatives
If you don't want to cook at all, there are several options: catering, private chef in the cottage or pre-packaged meals. During the winter season, many restaurants offer take away with mountain classics such as stew, pizza, or game. Combine it with a dog-friendly stay or a relaxing evening in the sauna after skiing. You'll have more time for the experience itself - not the logistics.
Executive summary
There are plenty of supermarkets close to all our properties in Sälen. ICA and Coop in Lindvallen, ICA Nära in Tandådalen, a shop in Hundfjället and smaller options in Stöten make weekly shopping easy. Feel free to supplement with catering or delivery service if you want more time for experiences and mountain fun - it's all within easy reach of your holiday home.
