The guide to a successful family holiday

At Stöten i Sälen, we know what it takes to create an unforgettable family holiday that neither young nor old will soon forget. Above all, we also know how important it is for children to enjoy themselves and have fun - because as all parents know, happy children are almost always synonymous with happy parents!

The holiday starts on the way there

Travelling within Sweden's borders has many advantages - perhaps most importantly, it means a shorter travel distance than if you were to go on holiday in Europe, for example. Thanks to the local Scandinavian Mountains Airport (which is only 15 minutes from Stöten!), you can travel easily and conveniently by air. But most families with children still choose to drive to us - and you need to be prepared. Although the distance to the Swedish mountains is relatively short, a few hours in the car can be quite stressful for both children and adults. Make sure to load up on tasty snacks and good entertainment to keep the whole family happy along the way.

Choose a child-friendly accommodation in Sälen

What most of our visitors appreciate about Stöten is our child-friendly accommodation. That's because we've designed many of our properties with families with children in mind. It should be easy! Whether you prefer to stay at hotel, i apartment or in a cosy mountain hut Stöten has the accommodation for you and your family.

Pssst! You do realise that all our facilities are within walking distance of the slopes? Forget complicated car trips to and from the slopes with excited and irritated children and instead leave the car during the holiday. It doesn't get any easier than that!

If you want to take a break from the slopes, you can, for example, treat yourself to a lovely treatment in our spa on Vattufjäll, or why not challenge the family to a bowling tournament? You can also enjoy both cosy and fast-paced excursions with dog team or snowmobile.

Spice up your holiday with good food

A big part of a holiday is being able to relax completely, not have to cook and just enjoy! In Stöten you will find restaurants serving first-class and well-prepared food for all tastes.
