Sälfjällstorget is located in the middle of Lindvallen and Högfjället and serves as an obvious meeting point regardless of the season. In winter, you step into your ski boots at the square and roll straight out onto green and blue slopes, with a connection to both Lindvallen's and Högfjället's lift systems. There is a ski school, rental and workshop close at hand, making it easy to pick up equipment in the morning, change boots if something hurts or book a private lesson to sharpen your technique. Cross-country skiers have trail connections nearby and can quickly reach mountain trails with windbreaks and nice viewpoints for thermos coffee.
Food, après-ski and nightlife
When your ski legs need a rest, the square takes over as your living room. Classic mountain taverns, family-friendly restaurants and cosy cafés mingle around the square, from early breakfast to late dinner. This is also where the afterski often starts: outdoors in the sun wall when the weather permits, or with live music and a DJ later in the afternoon. For a quieter evening, there are plenty of places for a glass of wine, a deli tray or a relaxed dinner before the next day's skiing.
Shopping and services
Shopping and services are another strength. Sports shops stock everything from gloves and goggles to shell jackets, and the Lindvallen area is close to groceries, takeaways and simple pharmacies. The ski bus stops at the square and connects the whole mountain, so you can leave your car parked and still move freely between slopes, swimming, cinema and other activities. Parking is available in the immediate vicinity and many accommodations in the area are walking distance from the square, which is worth its weight in gold for families and larger groups.
Summer at the square
In the summer, the square changes character but retains its pulse. From here, marked trails lead up to Hemfjället and Östfjället for everything from shorter evening walks to full-day trips on the cold mountain. In terms of cycling, you are close to Lindvallen's lift-borne cycling, technical zones and pump track, while fine gravel roads and nature trails start almost outside the door. In warmer months, smaller concerts, markets and family activities pop up, and the restaurants switch to summery menus where local produce meets barbecue and outdoor seating.
For families and groups
Practicality is easy all year round. You can quickly get to Experium area for swimming and cinema, and with the square as a base, you have short distances to both children's areas, slightly quieter slopes and more challenging runs. For corporate groups and groups of friends, Sälfjällstorget is also an excellent logistics hub: close to meeting rooms, catering deliveries and transfers - but still in the middle of the mountain experience.
Executive summary
Sälfjällstorget is the heart of Sälen - a central place where activities & adventures, food and service meet. From here you can reach both hiking trails and cycling tours, après-ski and entertainment and bath and spa at Experium. For accommodation there are several exclusive options such as Sälengodset, Fjällgodset and Olarslodgen - all within easy reach of the main square and the best mountain experiences. Choose Sälfjällstorget as your base for your stay, whether you want action-packed days, quiet evenings or a combination of both - all the best of Sälen in one place.
