Book your dream accommodation today and ensure an unforgettable New Year's Eve for your loved ones.
New Year skiing in Sälen
Although there's a lot of pressure on chalet bookings over New Year, there's always plenty of room on the slopes of Stöten. You can choose from 50 different runs of varying difficulty to suit beginners and experienced skiers of all ages. In addition, the weather conditions are usually magical over the New Year - the first snow of the season has settled like a stable, white blanket over the mountain and the temperatures are often mild. The sun usually comes out during the day and makes the whole mountain sparkle.
The brasserie's impressive New Year's Eve supper
On New Year's Eve, the Brasseriet restaurant in Stöten will be serving up a sumptuous New Year's Eve supper that you won't want to miss! The evening begins with a delicious pre-dinner drink, followed by an impressive three-course supper. The last few hours of the year will end with a big party with a nightclub feel and an atmospheric live band.
Celebrate New Year in Sälen with children
The idea of celebrating New Year in the mountains with children is something that sometimes puts some parents off – completely unnecessarily. Stöten is, in fact, specially designed for families with children. For example, the children have their very own club, the Vargklubben, where they can hang out with Stöten’s lovely mascot, Vargy, whilst getting to know other children. Vargy and his colleagues make sure that all the children have fun and feel safe in the club. He also organises fun ski races, children’s après-ski and loads of other activities for children of all ages.
The endless possibilities of Sälen
At our spa in Vattufjäll, both children and adults are welcome - relax with the whole family and treat your tired skiing legs to a wonderful treatment. If you're a family that likes more action on your holiday, you can challenge each other to a bowling match or take a fast-paced snowmobile trip. Or why not discover the mountains from a dog sled? In Stöten the possibilities are endless!
