Successful skiing holiday in Sweden

You don't have to leave our long country to experience magnificent mountains and enjoy first-class skiing. The best and probably most comfortable skiing holiday is in Sweden. In this article, we thought we'd share our top tips for a successful skiing holiday at home!

Tip #1: Plan your trip in time

Planning is usually important for a peaceful and enjoyable holiday. This is especially true if you want to go away during holidays such as Christmas, New Year or Easter. During these times, most ski resorts are fully booked well in advance. Therefore, make sure you book well in advance when you want to book your accommodation.

However, it is not only during the festive season that it is popular to go on a skiing holiday. Even during the weeks when schools are off - such as during sports and Easter holidays - resorts have often been fully booked for some time.

Take the family on a skiing holiday full of glorious sunshine, powder snow, fresh air and adrenaline rushes!

Tip #2: ... Or book at the last minute

On the other hand, if you have a little bit of ice in your stomach, or if you find out that you want to go on a ski holiday late, it can be advantageous to book a trip at the last minute. This way you can take advantage of really good discounts - even during the most popular travel times.

If you want to take the family on a skiing holiday full of sunshine, powder, fresh air and adrenaline, check out our sports holiday offers. In addition to a packed schedule of activities for young and old alike, you can enjoy discounted rates on accommodation.

Tip #3: Don't pack a bag - hire skis on site

In addition to warm and bulky winter clothing, you also need to bring skis and related equipment. This can be easier said than done. In most cases, you have limited space in your car. To avoid all the clutter, it is therefore a better idea to ski hire on site.

At Stöten in Sälen you will find a wide range of equipment for men, women and children in different classes. There is something for everyone. Whether you are a professional or a beginner.

We also offer much more than just skis - snowboarding, cross-country skiing, sledging and snowracing to name but a few. The benefits of using our ski hire in Sälen are many. Chief among them is that you:

Wide range of unique and family-friendly activities

  • Saving money
  • No need to drag skis with you
  • Always get to feel the latest equipment
  • Have the opportunity to try different types of skiing
  • Book and collect equipment quickly and easily

Tip #4: Enjoy it off the slopes too

A ski holiday should include a lot of skiing, as the name suggests. With this in mind, we at Stöten also provide The best skiing in Sälen with as many as 50 slopes of varying difficulty. In addition, we have cool Snowpark, Jibbarena and other fast-paced courses like Speed Freak, Side By Side, Self-timer, Vargy's Adventure Course and Stöten Cross.

Nevertheless, we also want to make sure that you can enjoy yourself off the slopes and that there are things things to do in Sälen if you are not skiing. We therefore offer a wide range of both unique and family orientated activities:

Tip #5: Satisfy your stomach

For many people, good food is just as important as good skiing and fun activities. That's why at Stöten we provide a wide range of food and entertainment. Both fast food and slow food, depending on mood and weather and what time it is.

Whether you prefer a perfectly cooked entrecote, or the flavour of venison, traditional fondue, burgers, pizza or whatever, there are places to satisfy your palate. From simple cafés to rustic restaurants for the whole family. By day you'll find tasty lunches for long days on the slopes, and in the evenings you'll find cosy à la carte.
