Fun activities for a weekend in Stöten

Not only do we offer marvellous views of a magical mountain landscape with Swedish and Norwegian mountains. When you visit us in Stöten in Sälen, you can choose from a range of fun activities to suit both young and old. And of course, we also have Sälen's best skiing!

Northernmost ski resort in the Sälen mountains

Stöten is the obvious choice for those who want to experience Sweden's best skiing. With us you'll find, for example, Sälen the highest drop in the mountains at 398 metres. And of our 50 slopes there are slalom skiing for everyone, regardless of age or expertise. With around 20 lifts, it is also easy to get up the slopes and then choose whether you want to go down with the help of the green and very easy slopes, or if you bet on something a little more challenging. For example, the black and difficult slopes. If you prefer to ski along the slope instead of down it, you can enjoy 45 kilometres of cross-country tracks! Thanks to the six-metre wide tracks, they are perfect for both skate and classic skiing - and for both experienced and beginners. The advantage of cross-country skiing in the mountains is that, in addition to fantastic cross-country tracks, you get to enjoy an unbeatable view! Are you curious about what the status of skiing is right now? We are constantly updating to give you the best conditions for today's skiing! But in addition to skiing, we also offer many other fun activities. Are you ready to go? Let's go!
