How to book the right mountain hut
Finding the perfect mountain lodge takes a little planning, but with the right approach, it's easy to find accommodation that meets your expectations. Here's our guide to booking the right mountain cabin in Sälen.
1. Decide on purpose and travelling companions
Start by defining what is most important for your trip. Is it a romantic weekend, an active family holiday or perhaps a relaxing retreat with friends? The number of people will of course influence the size of the cabin, but also keep in mind:
- Do you need more bathrooms for larger parties?
- Do you want separate bedrooms or do the lofts work?
- How important are common areas to you?
2. Choose the area and type of cottage
Based on your priorities, select the area of Sälen that best meets your needs. Keep in mind:
- Proximity to ski slopes if skiing is the main focus
- Distance to services and restaurants
- View and surroundings if nature experience is important
- Specific facilities such as sauna, jacuzzi or fireplace
3. set a budget and compare options
Mountain huts come in different price ranges depending on location, size and standard. Set a realistic budget and keep in mind:
- High season (Christmas, New Year, sports holidays) means higher prices
- Larger cottages can be affordable if you share the cost
- Weekly booking is often more economical than shorter periods
- Some periods offer special prices and packages
4. book well in advance
The most sought-after cottages in Sälen are often booked well in advance, especially during high season. To secure your dream accommodation, we recommend booking:
- At least 6-12 months in advance for Christmas, New Year and sports holidays
- 3-6 months in advance for the rest of the winter season
- 2-3 months in advance for summer and autumn
”Booking well in advance will not only give you the best options but often also better prices. The most popular cottages in the best locations are always the first to be fully booked.”

Frequently asked questions about renting a mountain hut
When planning to rent a mountain cabin in Sälen, questions often arise about practical details. Here we answer some of the most common questions to make your planning easier.
Are bed linen and towels included?
This varies between different cottages and landlords. At Sälengodset, high-quality bed linen and towels are always included in the price. In simpler cottages, this can sometimes be an extra charge or something you need to bring yourself. Always check what applies to your particular booking.
Is there parking at the cottage?
Most mountain huts in Sälen have their own car park next to the hut. However, the number of parking spaces may vary, so if you are bringing several cars, please check in advance. During the winter, the car parks are ploughed, but you may want to bring a snow shovel for any extra snow removal.
Are pets allowed in the mountain hut?
Some cottages welcome pets while others do not allow them for allergy reasons. If you want to bring your pet, search specifically for pet-friendly options. Olarslodgen is an example of a cottage where dogs are welcome, with practical solutions that make the stay comfortable for both two- and four-legged guests.
How does cleaning at check-out work?
Most holiday homes offer two options: either you clean yourself according to a checklist or you buy a final cleaning service (in the case of the Seal Estate, final cleaning is included in the price). If you choose to clean yourself, it is important to follow the instructions carefully to avoid extra charges. Final cleaning is often recommended for a hassle-free departure.
Is there internet/WiFi in the cottages?
More and more mountain huts now offer WiFi, but coverage and speed can vary depending on the location of the hut. In more remote areas, connectivity can be limited. More luxurious chalets often have fibre or fast 4G/5G connections, so always check in advance if this is important to you.
Can I book activities and skipass in advance?
Yes, both activities and skipass can be booked in advance, especially in high season. Many holiday rental companies offer packages where skipass is included or can be added. By booking in advance, you can avoid queues and sometimes get discounted prices.
