Sälen Ski Resort
Sälen is the base resort for four small ski areas, which combine together to form a 151km network of pretty, tree-lined slopes in the Swedish hills.
To experience the best of this resort it is worth hiring a car as it gets you around the different ski areas with ease, and also makes the airport journey much quicker. Each area is best suited to beginner and intermediate skiers and riders, with modest vertical and few steep slopes – making this ideal for families. Just note that many of the lifts are draglifts, although recent investment has led to the construction of several fast chairlifts. Away from the slopes, 250km of cross country trails and numerous other activities make this a great destination for non-skiers.
Much of the accommodation can be found in self-catered cabins, dotted around the forests in between the various ski areas. Local supermarkets can be found at each of the bases, but you may want to consider picking up provisions on the way from the airport.
