Sälen is one of Sweden’s most popular skiing destinations. We at Stöten are therefore delighted to be able to offer The best skiing in Sälen. With a whopping 50 runs, 45 kilometres of cross-country trails and Sälen's highest vertical drop of 398 metres, Stöten offers something for everyone - regardless of previous skiing experience. Start your morning in the best possible way with morning skiing! Here, you get to enjoy Stöten's amazing slopes first of all while the rest of the mountain is still asleep. Throw yourself down freshly groomed slopes with crisp corduroy snow that's completely untouched - it's an extraordinary experience to say the least, and one that you definitely can't miss when you're in Sälen! When the lifts open to the public, you can sneak into the cosy Brasseriet or Torsten's Restaurant and treat yourself to a luxurious hotel breakfast. Enjoy everything from scrambled eggs and sandwiches made with freshly baked bread to yoghurt, sausages and cold cuts. It's the perfect recharge to get you through the rest of your day on the slopes.

Manchester skating for young and old at all levels

Our morning skiing is something that suits ski lovers of all ages - no matter how much experience you already have. Of the slopes open for morning skiing, there are black, red, blue and green slopes so there really is something for everyone. If you are a beginner skier, you can ski the gentle, green slopes with little gradient, while if you are an experienced skier and want more challenging and adventurous skiing, you can enjoy it on the black slopes.
