Avoid traffic jams

During the winter season, there is a constant flow of ski-loving guests to Sälen. When the snow-sure resort is at its busiest, such as during Christmas and New Year's week, queues quickly form on the final stretch across the Sälen mountains, and getting stuck is the last thing you want as you approach your final destination.

Avoid queues and shorten journey times

As Stöten in Sälen is the furthest north of all the Sälen mountain ski resort harbours, right on the Norwegian border, Stöten is the furthest away if you take the mountain road via Sälen.

Here Stöten staff train on lift evacuation

Every now and then the lift stops. Someone may have dropped a ski, the lift staff may have received an error message from the lift, or someone may have fallen while getting off. Usually the lift will be up and running again in no time, but staff must be prepared for the worst. If the lift stops for too long, passengers will need to be evacuated - and that's a task the evacuation team is always ready to tackle!
