Avoid traffic jams

During the winter season, there is a constant flow of ski-loving guests to Sälen.

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. To both avoid queues and shorten the journey time, it is wise to take the road via Rörbäcksnäs instead.
