Sälens Högfjällshotell: World-class skiing in iconic surroundings

Located in the midst of the snowy slopes, Sälens Högfjällshotell is the biggest tourist resort in Scandinavia. This iconic hotel offers world-class food, accommodation and activities in beautiful settings, with a legacy steeped in elegance and royal entertainment. This season is set to be the best one yet, with some fantastic events in store.

Sälens Högfjällshotell was founded in 1937 by Norwegian entrepreneur J W Klüver, who had a dream of building a luxurious high mountain resort in Sälen. The legacy is intact and this is a luxurious getaway for people who want everything close at hand, from world-class skiing to quality dining and night-life, with the historic elegance maintained in a modern way.

This season will be the last for the Backner family, which has been in charge of the hotel for the past 35 years. “Sälen Högfjällshotell is a fantastic destination and we’re very proud of the work we’ve done,” says Thommy Backner, CEO. “We have so much in store for you this winter, with music and events every week – our last season at the reins is bound to be the best one!”

Celebrated chefs and the King of Queen

A range of events await, starting with lighting of the Instaworthy Christmas tree, just outside the hotel, on 1 December. The winter season kicks off during the premiere weekend 14-16 December, with live music and fun events. A later highlight is the Queen revival show with Johan Boding, also called the King of Queen. Another not-to-be-missed happening is Ski & Rock, one of the biggest music events in the region.

Some of Sweden’s best chefs will also make an appearance at the fine dining restaurant Onkel Jean, including Nisse Molinder, Melker Andersson, and Thomas Sjögren. “It’s going to be fantastic. We will have the elite of the Swedish culinary scene visiting us,” says Backner.

Sälen is naturally a hub for skiers, with more than 100 ski slopes and an extensive snow system in place. In addition to the amazing skiing, with fantastic tracks right outside the door, there is a fully-packed schedule with activities such as dog sledding and snowmobile tours, yoga, spa, gym, cinema and kids’ activities.
