Sälen is not just a destination for families - it's a great place for groups of friends to combine sport, fun and relaxation. During the winter, Sälen attracts the ski resorts in Lindvallen, Hundfjället, Tandådalen and Stöten with slopes for all levels. Whether you love carving on groomed slopes, off-piste or snowboarding, there are challenges for the whole group.

For cross-country skiers, there are miles of trails with magnificent views and varying degrees of difficulty. In spring and summer, skiing is replaced by hiking, mountain biking and fishing - activities that are perfect for active groups.

For those who want extra excitement, we offer snowmobile safaris, ice climbing, dog sledding and snowshoeing, which can be booked directly through us. These experiences create memories for life and strengthen the cohesion of the group.
