Hiking and running

Sälen offers plenty of trails to explore for both hikers and runners - all in a fantastic mountain setting.

If you decide to explore Sälen on foot, you’re in for a fantastic experience. Sälen offers trails for both beginners and those with more experience. The lift makes the mountain more accessible to everyone in the summer too. It takes the effort out of the climb, so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and stunning views, even on a short walk. Many of our trails can be made easier by taking the lift up or down. 

The trails are well marked with red trail markers, and there are shelters, huts and wind shelters along the way.
