Sälen , Sweden

Sälen is the most northerly of our destinations, with an exotic taste of the vast wilderness. The greater Sälen ski area is spread out over five resorts, with generous skis slopes, cool parks, and even a speed-ski slope hosting annual World Cup competitions. Right accross the border you find Norway’s largest ski resort, Trysil. Sälen has been the home of legendary riders like freeskier Jon Olsson, snowboarder Ingemar Backman, and the world’s fastest woman on skis, Sanna Tidstrand. But Sälen also offers dog-sleigh riding, snowmobile driving, cross-country skiing, reindeer, and even in-door wave surfing. No matter your preferences, you’ll find something in Sälen.

In Sälen GirlieCamps offer park riding for Girlies and for our younger sisters, Teenies. We shred the parks under the supervision of professional riders until our legs won’t support us any longer. In the evening we detract with yoga, or just chill-out together.
