Safety on the ski slopes

Stöten is a great destination for those who are new to skiing. But it's important to take certain safety precautions to avoid injury. We at Stöten in Sälen have some tips for a safe and fun ski holiday.

Take lessons and use protective equipment

As a beginner skier, it is important to take lessons with a qualified instructor. They'll teach you the basic techniques and help you build your confidence on the piste. In Stöten and Sälen there are ski schools for both adults and children. Wear protective equipment and remember to always wear a helmet and ski goggles.
