Sälen

 
Overview

Sälen is a village in western Sweden, near the Norwegian border. It's known for its huge ski area, made up of several resorts and offering a range of slopes. The Vasaloppsleden Trail runs from Sälen to the town of Mora, to the east.

Description

Sälen Aquarium has a flowing-water environment with fish varieties including rainbow trout. The village is a launch point for the southern section of the long-distance Kungsleden Trail. A tiny spot in the wilds of Dalarna, the village of Sälen undergoes a stunning transformation from sleepy summertime fishing village into one of Sweden’s largest conglomerations of ski resorts in the winter: its two selves are almost completely unrecognisable from each other.
