Welcome to Sälengodset – a guide for those who want to find the best accommodation in Sälen.
Here we focus on what actually determines whether a mountain accommodation can be considered “the best”: comfort level, location in relation to skiing and nature, and how well the accommodation works for different types of groups. Whether you are travelling as a family, with friends or on a business trip, we help you understand which factors make the biggest difference for a truly successful stay.
When comparing what counts as the best accommodation in Sälen, the level of equipment and floor plan are decisive factors.
Mountain house with private sauna, spa or relaxation area, a fireplace and generous social areas provide completely different conditions for both relaxation and socialising than simpler alternatives. Especially for larger groups, these qualities make a big difference to the overall experience and how well the accommodation works throughout the stay.
That's why the best mountain lodges in Sälen operate all year round.
When deciding which accommodation is best in Sälen, year-round use plays a decisive role.
The most well-designed mountain lodges work just as well during the winter skiing season as they do in summer and autumn, offering proximity to nature, activities and relaxation. A strategic location – within reasonable distance of ski resorts, trails, restaurants and services – makes a big difference to how flexible and comfortable your stay will be, regardless of the season.
The magic of winter in Sälen
When the snow falls, Sälen transforms into a sparkling winter wonderland, and the location and facilities of your accommodation become crucial to the overall experience. The best mountain lodges are conveniently located with easy access to ski areas such as Lindvallen, Tandådalen and Hundfjället, with easy access to both downhill skiing and cross-country trails.
For many travellers, ski-in/ski-out access, a sauna and a fireplace are important factors when choosing accommodation, as they allow them to maximise their time on the slopes while also ensuring effective recovery after a day of skiing.
After a day on the slopes, mountain lodges are appreciated, where saunas, generous dining areas and the option of a spa or hot tub create a clear contrast between activity and rest.
Summer and autumn in the mountains
When the mountains turn green, opportunities for hiking, cycling, fishing and horse riding open up, and the proximity of your accommodation to nature plays a central role. The most well-designed mountain accommodations provide direct access to trails and activity areas, whether you are travelling with children, friends or in small groups.
During autumn, Sälen transforms into a colourful oasis, making this period particularly popular for relaxation, photography and short mountain breaks. Accommodation that works just as well for active summer days as for the quieter pace of autumn offers greater flexibility and better value over time.
Activities near your accommodation in Sälen
Skiing
Proximity to the ski slope is one of the most important factors when choosing accommodation in Sälen.
The best mountain lodges offer easy access to some of Sweden's most popular ski areas, reducing travel time and making it easier to get the most out of your skiing days.
Accommodation in well-chosen locations provides better logistics during the high season and is particularly suitable for families and larger groups who want to combine efficient skiing with comfortable relaxation.
Hiking & Cycling
For summer and autumn trips, access to hiking trails and cycle paths is crucial to the overall experience.
The best accommodation in Sälen is located directly on or close to trails suitable for all levels – from family-friendly walks to more demanding mountain hikes.
A place to stay with easy access to nature gives you more flexibility and makes it simple to plan your days based on the weather, who you're with, and how active you feel like being.

Relaxation is a key part of what distinguishes a good accommodation from one of the best accommodations in Sälen.
Mountain lodges with saunas, spas or generous social areas create better conditions for recovery after active days, regardless of the season.
Especially for larger groups, shared spaces contribute to a more relaxed and social stay, where the accommodation becomes a natural gathering place rather than just a place to sleep.
