Biking with children in Sälen

In Sälen, biking adventures await the whole family – from pump tracks and playful skills areas to easy trails, fresh mountain air and fun days together.

It’s not about riding the furthest or the fastest – it’s about laughter in the corners, proud smiles after new challenges, and days the children want to experience all over again the very next morning.

Where children’s biking joy comes to life

Sälen Skill Park

At Sälen Skill Park in Lindvallen, playful pump tracks and skills areas await, where children can practise balance, turns and control through play. Every lap becomes a little more fun than the last, and confidence grows with every metre.

Sälen Trail Park

When it’s time to explore more, easier trails await in Sälen Trail Park. Here you can ride together through forest and nature at a gentle pace, with time for breaks, cheers and small adventures along the way.

Valles Bike Trail

If you’d like a family outing on wheels, Valles Bike Trail is a perfect choice. The route winds through Lindvallen past playgrounds, restaurants, barbecue areas and lovely stopping points along the way. Ride part of the route or the whole stretch – you choose the pace.

An easier holiday with hired bikes

Travelling with bikes doesn’t need to be difficult. In Sälen, you can hire bikes for both children and adults, with helmets and equipment that make it easy to get started straight away.

For the very youngest children, balance bikes are often the most fun way to begin. For slightly older children, bikes in several sizes are ready for new adventures.

Tips for a brilliant day

  • Start on a trail or track that feels easy and fun.
  • Take breaks for ice cream, fika or play along the way.
  • Let the children choose the pace sometimes.
  • Celebrate brave attempts and small achievements.
  • Save a little energy for tomorrow’s adventure.

More than just biking

In Sälen, you stay close to activities, nature and experiences that suit families. Combine biking with swimming, play, ice cream breaks and evenings where everyone falls asleep happy after a day outdoors together.

Make the most of your stay in Sälen

If you’d like even more from your holiday, you can book the Large Sälen/TrysilPass and fill your days with experiences in both Sälen and Trysil. Start or end the day at Trysil Bike Arena, the climbing parks, the swimming centre or one of the area’s many family activities.

For your safety, bicycle helmets are mandatory in all cycling areas.
