Yes – there is accommodation in Sälen that is suitable for groups of 30–50 people, but availability is limited and requires the right kind of planning. For larger groups such as companies, family reunions, management teams or private events, traditional cottage rentals are rarely sufficient. Instead, a combination of large mountain houses, flexible floor plans and common areas is needed to make it possible to stay, socialise and gather under one roof – without compromising on comfort or logistics.
Sälen currently offers a few options that are tailored specifically for larger groups. These are often exclusive mountain lodges with many bedrooms, several bathrooms, generous living areas and proximity to year-round activities. For groups of 30–50 people, the accommodation must also be professionally managed to ensure that booking, service and practical details run smoothly from start to finish.
What is required for accommodation for 30–50 people?
Accommodation for really large groups has completely different requirements than a normal mountain lodge. It is not enough to count beds – floor plans, common areas and functionality are just as important. For groups of 30–50 people, accommodation often needs to consist of several houses in close proximity, or a larger main house supplemented with nearby accommodation.
Important factors include, for example:
- Enough bedrooms for flexible room allocation
- Several bathrooms and separate toilets
- Large dining areas where the whole group can gather
- Generous social areas for meetings, dinners and socialising
- Practical entrances, ski storage and drying facilities
For companies and organised groups, it is also crucial that the accommodation is suitable for meetings, presentations and joint activities. That is why large accommodations are often combined with conference solutions in the mountains and the option to book meals, activities and services.
Exclusive accommodation for larger groups in Sälen
When the group size approaches 30–50 people, exclusivity and structure become particularly important. Accommodation tailored to this type of group not only offers more beds, but also a complete experience where logistics, comfort and enjoyment are intertwined.
That is precisely why this type of stay is grouped under solutions for exclusive accommodation for 30–50 people in Sälen. The accommodations here have been carefully selected to suit larger groups, with the right balance between private sleeping areas and communal spaces.
Many of these accommodations are also strategically located near ski areas, activities and services, which minimises transport and simplifies planning. For groups that prioritise quality over compromise, this is often the most sustainable choice.
When is accommodation for 30–50 people most suitable?
Larger accommodations in Sälen are often booked for occasions where community and socialising are the focus. These can include business trips, management meetings, training weekends or team building – but also private occasions such as anniversaries, birthday celebrations or large family gatherings.
During the winter season, accommodation is often combined with skiing and winter activities, while spring, summer and autumn are ideal for hiking, cycling, culinary experiences and more focused meetings. For businesses, it is common to combine their stay with business retreat in Sälen, where accommodation becomes the hub of the entire experience.
Regardless of the season, it is important to book well in advance. Accommodation for 30–50 people is limited, and demand is high during popular weeks such as the winter season, autumn conferences and long weekends.
Alternative: several large mountain houses in combination
In some cases, the solution for 30–50 people consists of several large mountain houses close to each other. This provides flexibility in room allocation and the opportunity to create both community and privacy. One house can serve as a gathering place for dinners and meetings, while the others are used for accommodation.
This type of arrangement is often used when groups want to combine comfort with structure, and is a natural complement to to rent large cottages in Sälen. The advantage is that the group can grow or shrink without having to change destination.
However, for this to work smoothly, professional coordination is required – from booking and check-in to cleaning and service. This is where the difference between regular cottage rentals and organised group accommodation becomes clear.
What distinguishes professional group accommodation from regular cottage rentals?
When booking accommodation for 30–50 people, security, clarity and structure are crucial. Professionally arranged accommodation offers clear agreements, coordinated booking and a single point of contact throughout your stay. This reduces the risk of misunderstandings and makes planning much easier.
In addition, these accommodations are designed to handle high traffic, both in terms of kitchens, bathrooms and common areas. This makes them a better option than trying to piece together several smaller privately owned cottages. Read more about different types of accommodation in Sälen to understand the differences.
