Lindvallen/Högfjället reviews (Page 3)

+ nice and good staff throughout Sälen
- / + full everywhere in restaurants and apres ski
- poor lift system considering the number of visitors. Build more chair lifts!
- quickly gets up
- poor variety on slopes
- no terrain to talk about
- Terribly expensive for what you get
- constantly windy
- a lot of children and beginners

This year the ski trip went to Lindvallen / Högfjället and the accommodation Skistar Lodge. We usually go to Hemsedal, but because we now have a little 18 month boy we thought he has more to do in Sälen with a bath etc. Activities beyond the skiing itself, Sälen is probably the strongest card and there is really something for everyone.

Skis Lodge !!!
I have to say that Skistar Lodge Lindvallen is the best accommodation we ever had. Experium's entire experience without even wearing shoes or outerwear. The kids were out o playing in the corridors outside the apartment, them as well as found each other naturally. When they were then sucked on chocolate or snacks they just said the room number in the restaurant, so they were served and it was written on the note paid at check out.

The skis and boots were put in a changing room that was locked up with the hotel card, so you never had to have a lot of stuff standing in the apartment. After taking all the ski outings, the lifts were just outside the door. There lies Valleland and the children's area, we adults (and little bigger children) could immediately take the elevator to the top about 100 meters to the left.

So all in all, it's probably the best skiing holiday we have had, the kids never want to live anywhere else and we all were happy.

PS, the snow depth was 130cm did not matter.

For a family like ours: Fantastic. Affordable. Cozy. Exciting. If you only look at the length and the hassle of the slopes, you can go to the Alps instead. But if you are a family who wants to find a perfect place for a varied week for all - yes then you've found it right.

We and another family rented a large cabin of 150 sqm up at Gammelgården. Surprisingly cheap and surprisingly beautiful, just up the tree line. If you looked at the map, it was a bit averse, but 300 meters down to Stora vägen, we had the ski bus that takes a round in the whole Sälen area. (The picture shows the road we went down every day). And another 50 meters further down the transport link between Högfjällshotellet with its small but nice hill and Lindvallen with its much larger system.

What's so good then? Well, there are so many ski schools to choose so we could easily pair up the needs of two families to make it perfect. You are taking care of the water park, cinema and cafés.

Adventurous? Yes, we drove a dog sledge high up on the Kalfjället and felt like a polarist. The dogs glorified and the snow was coming and we felt like moving to another world when we arrived at the small cottage in Storfjällsgraven. There a girl cooked waffles on wood-burning stove and whipped the cream by hand. Far from liftköer and after-ski.

In summary: You can easily sew together a perfect skiing week for your family. You can live cheap and eat at home, or stay expensive and burn money. Relax in a pool or out on adventure. You can try to go skiing in Sälen's entire slopes or sit up on the Kalfjället and eat biscuits. It can be as good as you want!

Lindvallen is a well-known tourist resort and may be overcrowded between weeks 6-12.
It goes without saying that Denmark's sports laws v6-7 and then southern / middle / northern Sweden will take place on 9/9.
Nevertheless, the one who is out in good time in the morning can go less on the well-hired slopes.
There are plenty of eateries for most taste buds and very child friendly with both good ski school and children's areas.
The ski school holds a very high minimum class with the children in focus.
The accommodation is what it is, but given the number of accommodation rights per cottage and bed I can not say that they do a good job of cleaning and service.
The prices are what they are, however, the peak is that there is free ski school included for certain weeks when buying a ski pass for adults.

The picture is taken in Lindvallen but has probably spent the most time in Hundfjället with the daughter of 3 years.

Have it all for families with children! Well-kept slopes, good selection of restaurants, bathing grounds, nice mountains, etc.

Lindvallen has Sweden's largest children's area as well as many button lifts but the demanding rides are not available
Positively
The eight-stroke Gustav, Märta lift and express 303 are good
Mc Donalds
A lot of childbacks
Good restaurant selection
Some fun red backs
Högfjället has nice carving backs
negatively
Terrible transport distance
All slopes are in the same weather and are very similar to each other
3/57 slopes are black not good
Too many puckelpists and parks
Short slopes

Hello! I have been in the seal now under the track -08. We went to Lindvallen for a little while. If you have children and cuddle some inexperienced riders, Lindvallen is a good place, I think.

But if you like a little more challenging assignment, which I prefer. So Lindvallen is not the best place. They have 2-3 backs that are okay, but not much more to offer at higher levels. If you have some imagination, you can find some go offpiste on some parts of the forests, especially at the 303 lift.

Högfjället then! It is no further if you are not the right beginner or a small child who is on the first skis.

+ Gustav hill (when it is not overcrowded or broken)

+ HC

- Many children families and beginners, if you are looking for a ride, this is a minus.

+ Nice snowman on top of Gustav: D

Summary: Beginner area.

Lindvallen is the last choice I had made if I were to buy a trip.
I was there last year 1 week, week 2.
I think the selection of slopes is not the best, no fun park, aftershin was full of tables so you could barely stand up. I did not think much much.

Lindvallen has short slopes and very young children with their families. However, they are mostly around the gustavsbacken. So, if you keep away from labeled expresses, there are not very many people

Good for training, but nothing for free skating! good to practice slalom in the brant!
