What can you do in Sälen in summer?

The Swedish summer is a fantastic time in the mountains, offering many activity opportunities. Here we share our favourite summer activities that you can enjoy with us at Stöten in Sälen, activities that work in summer 2022 and every other year!

Quiet summer activities in Sälen - or elsewhere

Tip #1: Read a book

Summer is a time for relaxation and reflection - a time to re-energise for the challenges of autumn. Settling down in a deckchair and enjoying a good book is truly the ultimate relaxation.

Tip #2: Play board games

As well as time to relax, summer also means time to socialise with loved ones. Spend some quality time together while playing board games together - either outside on a blanket in the sun or indoors if the weather doesn't allow otherwise.

Tip #3: Have a film marathon

Those of us who live in Sweden know that the Swedish summer doesn't always bring sunshine and warmth... But when it rains, it's a great time to snuggle up under a blanket on the sofa, with popcorn and a great film marathon. Is there anything cosier than watching a film while the rain patters on the windowpane?

Tip #4: Have a picnic

Take a day trip somewhere and bring a tasty picnic! It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just pack some sandwiches and maybe a fruit salad - but there's something special about enjoying food out in nature, everything tastes a bit better.

Games and play as summer activities

Tip #5: Play cube

Traditional parlour games are all well and good, but why not challenge your friends or family to a rousing game of cube? If you don't have a cube game of your own, you can borrow one free of charge from Stöten's reception. It's a classic for a reason!

Tip #6: Do a tip round

Are you going on holiday with your children? Or maybe with a group of friends? Why not organise your own outdoor quiz? Write either general questions (a good way to keep your summer holiday brain going) or questions about the participants. It will be a fun experience that also provides exercise and fresh air!

Tips #7: Bada

What would a summer be without a refreshing dip in the sea or lakes? In the vicinity of our Sälen centre, you'll find plenty of great swimming spots that are perfect to visit when the sun gets a little too hot.

Tip #8: Hike in Sälen this summer

Another popular summer activity in the mountains is hiking, which Sälen definitely invites you to do. When you visit us, you'll find yourself in the heart of the Swedish mountains, surrounded by magnificent views and deep forests. Our staff will be happy to advise you on the best hiking trails!

Tip #9: Go roller skiing

Isn't it time to start training for this winter's Vasaloppet? It's always good to be out in good time and the lack of snow does not have to be an obstacle! Try roller skis and practice both staking and skating along the fine roads that Sälen offers.

Tip #10: Cycling

For those who prefer to use their legs in other ways, cycling is also a great way to get some exercise during your stay in Sälen. There are long and beautiful roads with little traffic, which take you through a fantastic landscape!Find out more about cycling in Sälen.
