Children's bikes in Sälen
Many people opt out of buying expensive bikes for children, especially if it's only going to be used a few times or exchanged for a larger model after a season. That's why renting a children's bike in Sälen can be worthwhile.
The smallest trail bike is for children higher than 95 cm. It has wider tires that act as shock absorbers and is suitable for pumptrack, skills areas and trail biking. The rental also includes a helmet and other protection. Convenient for busy families with children, who don't have to worry about bikes and other equipment. This contributes to an easier journey.
Balance bikes for the youngest children
For the very youngest children, balance bikes often create the best experiences. A balance bike has no pedals and is a better choice than a bike with training wheels. A balance bike can be used in pumptrack, skills areas and simple trails, and a helmet is included in the rental.
Pump track at Sälen Bike Park Trail
The starting point in Sälen Bike Park Trail in Lindvallen has a paved pump track of approx. 700 sqm, a green trail cycling trail of 1 km suitable for the whole family, and a blue trail suitable for slightly older children with more cycling skills. There is also a skills area with easier jumps.
Skills area Gustavtorget
Gustav Express has the Gustavstorget skills area – an area with easier jumps and bends. A great place to practice balancing, or just cycling for fun. The tracks are a fun technical exercise for people of all ages. Most bikes work here, but you can’t go wrong with a bit of damping.
Experiumtorget
Experiumtorget has a wooden pump track and a green trail for downhill cycling, suitable for anyone big enough to pedal uphill.
Valle’s bike trail
If you want to explore Lindvallen, take Valle's bike trail, which winds past restaurants, shops, barbecues and playgrounds all the way from Experiumtorget to the Conceptstore at Sälfjällstorget. It goes without saying that you can choose to cycle all or only part of Valle's bike trail.
For your safety, bicycle helmets are mandatory in all cycling areas.
