Cross-country skiing in Sälen

When you hear the name Sälen, most people probably think of the great downhill skiing that the Sälen mountains have to offer. And sure, we're pros at alpine skiing - but the fact is that we also have really good cross-country skiing to offer!

Best cross-country tracks in Sälen

Like us, many Stöten visitors appreciate the combination of downhill and cross-country skiing that Sälen has to offer. Kicking off the day on carving skis in freshly groomed corduroy and then finishing the ski day on the cross-country tracks is, in the eyes of many, unbeatable!

45 kilometres of track

In Stöten we have a full 45 kilometres of cross-country trails, both down in the valley and up on the mountain. Our tracks are six metres wide, so there's plenty of room, and you can choose between both classic and skate. We have long and challenging cross-country trails that are perfect for the more experienced skier, as well as shorter and easier trails for the beginner - there's something for everyone! One of our seven cross-country trails is also lit until 23:00, so cross-country skiing at night is no problem, even during the darkest winter weeks.

Cross-country ski tracks in the valley

From our four trail centres down in the valley (Stöten Ranch, Skidtorget, Soltorget and Kronoparken) you can easily reach our fine cross-country trails of varying length and difficulty. Light Roundabout (3 km) is Stöten's shortest cross-country trail, but it offers classic skiing in varied terrain and is therefore best suited to the more experienced skier. The trail is also illuminated until 23:00 - perfect for evening rides!

Cross-country track Creeper tails (7 km) offers classic-style skiing while The whistle turns (4 km) and Comborundum (8.5 km) offers both classic and skate. The training track (5 km) is the track we usually advise beginners to try the first times on cross-country skis. Here you can practice both classic and skate in a gentle track with few level differences.

Stöten offers a full 45 km of cross-country trails for all tastes and levels

Cross-country skiing in the mountains

Cross-country skiing in the mountains is something you just have to experience when you visit us! The stunning views of both Swedish and Norwegian mountain scenery can take anyone's breath away. With the WC Express, you can easily get to the top, where you can then head out into Top track (3 km) or Eastern Spruce Fell Tour (16 kilometres). The latter is our longest ski trail and is located on the highest peak of the Sälen mountains - 948 metres above sea level!

Clothing by weather

When cross-country skiing at the summit, it is important to check the weather forecast carefully so that you can dress appropriately. The weather in the mountains can change quickly and the cooling effect of the wind is often stronger than you might think. If you are unsure about how to dress for a trip to the mountains, you can always ask our experienced staff for advice. Remember that all activities in the mountains are at your own risk, so always think "safety first".
