Lindvallen

Lindvallen is the founding sector of the SkiStar Sälen ski area and the most facility-packed of the western Dalarna family fells. Its gentle, wide slopes are linked over the fell to neighbouring Högfjället, giving families a broad, easy domain to explore on one pass. What sets Lindvallen apart is the density of amenities gathered at its base, above all the Experium centre, a large adventure hub with a water park, pool, bowling and dining that keeps children happy off the slopes. It is also home to a celebrated novelty, the world's only ski-through McDonald's, where skiers can order straight from the piste. The terrain itself is forgiving and beautifully organised for beginners and children, backed by reliable cold-climate snow and snowmaking. This is family skiing at its most convenient and self-contained.

Go for the most amenity-rich family base in the Sälen fells, where gentle skiing sits alongside an adventure centre, dining and endless children's facilities. It suits families and beginners who want everything in one place and easy, stress-free slopes. The Experium hub and the link to Högfjället give it breadth and appeal beyond the skiing alone.

Lindvallen's low, rounded fell sits in the cold, dry inland climate of western Dalarna, holding snow well through a long season with the help of comprehensive snowmaking. The terrain is open and gentle above a fringe of forest, catching the low northern light, and short early-season days give way to bright, sociable spring skiing. Because the gradients are easy, conditions stay forgiving and predictable throughout.
