Pump track
In Sälen we offer several pump tracks in Lindvallen. An activity for all adventure-lovers where you have to "pump" yourself forward in order to gain speed.
You need the SälenPasset Small to ride the pumptrack. The pass is always cheapest online, and you can quickly and easily collect it from one of our SkiPass pick-up machines.
What is a pumptrack?
A pump track is a short loop built with jumps and bends, shaped to help you generate speed and propel yourself forwards by "pumping" your body up and down, instead of pedalling. The trails are a fun technical exercise for both kids and adults - pretty much any bike will work for these.
In Lindvallen there are two large asphalt pump tracks, one with a difficulty level of green and a size of 700 square metres and the other with 1,200 square metres and a blue difficulty level. These pump tracks are located in the SkiStar Bike Park at Experiumtorget.
There are already pump tracks at Gustavtorget, Sälfjällstorget and Experiumtorget. The pump track at Experiumtorget is suitable for bikes and kick bikes. There are kickbikes available to rent at Lodgebaren.
Bike for pumptrack in Sälen
Although the vast majority of bikes can be used, some are more suitable than others. If you don't have your own bike, there's a good selection of bikes to rent in Sälen, from downhill to kickbike.
Many people choose to try pumptrack in Sälen with a trail bike. These have front suspension for adults, while the smallest children's bikes have wider tires to absorb the impact. For those who have more experience and want to do some jumping, a full-suspension trail bike is better for maximum comfort.
For your safety, bicycle helmets are mandatory in all cycling areas.
