Skills area in Sälen
A skills area is a practice area where you can practice jumps, curves, balance or just enjoy biking as they're great fun. The trails are a fun technical exercise for both kids and adults - pretty much any bike will work for these, but a bit of shock absorbing probably won't go amiss.
You need the SälenPasset Small to ride in skills areas. The pass is always cheapest online, and you can quickly and easily collect your pre-booked pass from one of our SkiPass pick up machines.

Choose the right bike for skills areas in Sälen
As skills areas often involve jumps, it's best to leave your touring bike behind. It's a matter of taste whether you want to use a full-suspension downhill bike or trail bike, or a front-suspension trail bike. These are fine to use in both skills areas and pumptracks. If you want to jump, a full-suspension bike can provide a more comfortable experience. If you don't have one, you can rent a bike in Sälen.
Children's bikes
Children from 115 cm can use a downhill bike, and trail bikes are available from 95 cm. For slightly smaller children, a balance bike is suitable if you're visiting the Sälen Skills Areas.
For your safety, bicycle helmets are mandatory in all cycling areas.
