Christmas week
The entire periodArrival and changeover days as shown on the website’s calendar
Christmas in the mountains is something very special. The snow that settles softly over the roofs. The silence that descends as day turns to dusk. The warmth of the fire as the family gathers.
Christmas in the mountains means a white Christmas – SkiStar’s snow guarantee applies from 18 December – and the whole house for the family: the Christmas tree in the living room, the festive feast at the long table, the sauna on Christmas Eve and the slopes right on your doorstep. We rent out entire mountain cottages for 8–24 guests, for seven nights from Sunday 20 to Sunday 27 December 2026. Below you can see which cottages are available, the prices and how to have your Christmas dinner delivered; you can find all our cottages under Rent a holiday home in Sälen.
Christmas week is the most sought-after period of the year in Sälen. Many accommodations are fully booked months in advance. Therefore, it is important to plan and secure your accommodation well in advance.

Who is this accommodation suitable for
Our accommodations in Sälen are designed for the demanding guest. You who are looking for more than standard accommodation. You who value thoughtful details and comfort.
Families looking for space
Large families need space to breathe. Our cabins offer generous spaces where each generation has its own private area. At the same time, there are communal zones where you naturally gather.
Children have space to play. Parents get a chance to relax. Grandparents get quality time with grandchildren. All under one roof.
Family parties and reunions
When the whole family gets together at Christmas, other arrangements are needed. Our largest houses in Sälen can accommodate between 21 and 24 guests. The fully equipped kitchens are ideal for cooking for large groups, and the dining areas can seat everyone around the same table.
These are homes where memories are made. Where the tradition of celebrating Christmas together is given the right conditions.
Groups that value quality
Smaller groups of friends and couples who have been travelling together for years know what they are looking for. Standard is not enough. You want that little extra. Thoughtful details. Equipment that is of the highest class.
Our premium accommodations deliver exactly that. Convenience without compromise.
The standard
Location and experience
Wherever you’re staying in Sälen in December, it will shape your whole Christmas experience. We have cottages in a variety of locations, depending on what you’re looking for.
Proximity to nature
Some of our accommodations are secluded. Nature is your closest neighbour. Here the silence is palpable. The starry sky is clear.
This is for families looking for privacy. Who want to experience the mountains on their own terms. Where skiing is not the main thing but one of several elements.
Moose and deer sometimes pass the garden. The snow lies untouched until you tread the first path. The sense of exclusivity is palpable.
Mountain environment with comfort
Other cabins are closer to the Sälen artery. Here, the mountain feeling is combined with proximity to most things. A short walk or ride to the ski slopes. Easy access to the supermarket and services.
These accommodations are suitable for families who want flexibility. The possibility to vary between activity and relaxation. Convenience without sacrificing the mountain experience.
Convenient location for family needs
The location is chosen based on your needs. If you want to ski every day, proximity to the Lindvallen ski area is relevant. If you prefer peace and quiet, we choose a more secluded location.
Parking is always available near the cottage. No lugging luggage long distances. Access to the entrance is always smooth even with a lot of luggage.
We help you choose the right location for your family's needs. Distance to various activities is weighed against the desire for privacy.
