Stöten reviews (Page 22)

Was in the shock 2-5 / 2 this year with a group of adolescents 14-20 years. Super pleased and only positive ovations at home. Good accommodation, clean and fresh and very friendly staff everywhere.

The world's best ski resort thinks our daughter, 9 years old. Particularly grandma's grandmother who was great fun. The family thinks it was so good with the proximity to everything! We lived in Stöten Mitt. We were a big company where everyone had their own apartment but still close to each other. The backs are quite OK for what we want.

Was in the mood a few days during week 13.
-1 degrees, clear blue sky and tan on the purchase

Has been a few times in Idre, Åre and Trysil. Compared to these places, the shock is not particularly good, but you may not have such expectations.


Description of travel company.
Signed, wife, 2 children (three and five years)

* For my part, I am a medium-sized rider. Takes me down for most black slopes, but not with any particular aggressiveness. Backs lying on the border between red and black are my tune.
* Frugan is a little insecure about skiing. Likes blue backs without too much surprises.
* The children are beginners. Green that applies.


+ The slopes at the steep square are very beautiful, mainly Älvan. If I had better technique in the body, I would have appreciated them even more.
+ Liftköerna. Or rather the total lack of lift queue.
+ Many steam options for the smaller ones.
+ Nice staff

- The lack of variation. It feels like either it's super easy or rather difficult. Not so many red and blue slopes. (Yes, it's on the pistemap, but in reality, most of the red are 50 meters steep and then it's flat again).
- Many lifts that are very tight. Especially the chairlift at Soltorget. Took 20 minutes to get up with it.
- Many slopes that quite soon merge into the same, yet they are counted as their own. That is, there are not so many slopes in reality.
- Failure of the grid when it was steep alongside the piste. Above all, this criticism applies to the green slopes. If you want to bring the children who are not full, you want a little extra security.


In summary, it is a very good facility for the family, but for me, neither a beginner nor a good skier, Stöten did not have much to offer. Basically just the WC-back. If you are a good skier, you will probably be bored to go on the three steep slopes. Better to continue a few miles to Trysil. More expensive, yes. But still more value for money.

Has been in Stöten at least 4-5 times now in my 16 year old life. To everyone is like going to the valley, the dog mountain etc .. test the shock! I do not want to compare the resorts with ski resorts further up in Sweden but the shock is the best ski resort in the world! Here is a ride for most. But if you want a sick fat park, you'll probably have to go to the cliff etc .. but the park is still clear! The slopes away at the torch (river and river) are amazing. Here you will also find newcomers, Danes and families with children who are most abandoned at the sunbathing area. In the shock there is also the highest fall height of the seal. If you want to go off piste / pillows, you should look outside the river or possibly the back if you want to go back .. there are always guaranteed unpowdered pillows.
+ No lift queues, not even sports holidays!
+ steep square, the slopes
+ offpiste outside the river
+ The park, if you're not PRO, it's really fun.
+ Big Airbag. If you want to try something new.
+ easy to find in the area, and you reach all areas from the center without getting rid of the skis.
+ The accommodation on my head.
+ nice lift staff
+ good cross country skiing

-After afterski / night club, prior to skiing
-a own lift to the park
- Here you rarely meet people you know. Almost just Norwegian.

In general: the best ski resort of the sea!

One week in Stöten, it became my part between 3 and 10 January (2010). Weather-like it was snorkelling, down to -30 degrees C in the valley, so it was about to keep going. The times I went green, the cold felt the worst, except in the lifts, but you only got a little cheeky "chew resistance", just wipe the cheeks when they were unprotected.

However, the weather is not something that is responsible for the facility can do anything about it. However, I wonder if it was not cold enough long enough to basically all the slopes would be well-stocked and prepared. (Now look at Hundfjället a bit away and there were also some of them closed.) I was especially keen on getting the Näcken and Älvan i Stöten to go, but nothing was happening. Well. I could survive this. The ride was otherwise better than I previously tried in the Sälen area. Longer and more varied rides than in, for example, Hundfjället and Tandådalen. If you have friends with them, they probably think that Hundfjällens Trollskog is fun and I'm probably missing something similar in Stöten. For the little older children, however, it appears that the jump and playground is in line with those elsewhere.

The biggest disadvantage (at least) was, at least, that at the top and the black part of the WC back was very broken down in the afternoons. Then switching to Parallel was much better. But without the Parallel, the whole week's pistachio had become almost completely destroyed. Outing outside was not to be expected, and not only because of lack of ability. The snow has not just shivered over the Dalarna, and the natural snow that was not enough to cover the rocks up on the mountain and catchy to cover the rest of the area. If you wanted to sabba skis, just go to the offpiste. ;)

In terms of nightlife, nightlife and nightlife, you should choose the more famous places in the Sälen area. I always prioritize the ski so I can not really review the nightlife and party atmosphere, but by all means, Tandådalen, Högis and (possibly) Lindvallen are better for such.

One thing I have to complain about is that the transport lifts (Solliften) to the "Sol area" (which we had the cabin in) closed completely without notice, without any information (what I could have known) and without regard to evening skiing and evening sunsets! :( The caretakers indicated lighting as a problem, but have a transport lift (which is important so to say, SHOULD it be on as long as there are people who want, can and, above all, need to take advantage of it! No shadow must fall over the who is in charge of the elevator. This is a management problem that I hope to be addressed as soon as possible!

On the whole, however, Stöten feels like a positive experience. With more snow (in the slopes at least) and a little higher temperature, the week had been * really * good, and with a "working" Sollift everything would have been almost perfect.

Such a trip, of course, Trysil is only four miles away in Norway, and just go there and go on a day (or some), and Stöten will be a definite nice experience! Medhavd matsäck also keeps costs down by a few SEKs anyway.

(The rating is based on this week's skiing experience (excluding Trysil) and even Näcken and Älvan had been open, it would seem to be somewhat higher at least because of the southern situation.)

Sälen's best facility!

+ varied rides
+ never lift queue
+ It's not that really cool
+ steep square
+ nice jumps and rails
+ to live on my head
+ ski instructors


- too much child backs
- the old 3-chair lift
- The landings on the hips are usually rocky


The shock, really nice place! With accommodation near the slopes and it's as it says on their website: It's almost never a lift queue in the bump. If you like challenges and blackbacks then you should go to the steep square! And if you're a beginner, Stöten is awesome !!!!! But it's also awesome for good skiers! The news for this spring was Big Air Bag, I have not lasted there yet but will be there at nine o'clock!


GO SUPPORT !!!

Hello everyone.

I'm a little disappointed at all the negative posts about the shock. I can understand that you who say negative things about the shock may be a bit younger and want more of the ride, but after all it's a family establishment so you can not wait so much when you get there! or am I wrong?? It feels like you're tracking down the Stöten in total just because you did not have to jump in big enough slopes! There are, after all, other ski areas just 30 minutes from Stöten ...
Have been to Stöten many years ago and will be there again week 7 with the family and know that it will be really fun. Do you have nothing positive to say so let it be. of course you are entitled to your opinion, but if so, say it in a positive way. You destroy them for everyone else who will be there else!
You who still face those negative posts, do not you look before you go on a mountain holiday or !!!
Sharpening....

The shocks are relatively sharply offpist, only one knows what slopes to take to find them, but it's just asking the lift staff. Most are active snowboarders while they work there, so they know all the secret spots. Do not want to reveal my own :) ("Offpist should be perceived solely")

When it comes to pisted slopes, the shock has many of them, but most of them are in the beginner quarry, though if you just enjoy enjoying cruising down the hill, there's a handful that is somewhat calm from tourists.

The park called Funpark, it's a very clear beginner park. Teach me the basics there, so it's a good start. But as I said earlier, there is no idea who goes there. So children stand on the kickers, in the landings, around the railroad. Families can stand in the middle of the road, so be sure to have a look.
I myself have driven some kids, have crashed in hopes to avoid meeting them.

The snow in the bush is wonderful during the low season, as it is untouched powder snow usually left a few days after it has fallen. But otherwise it may get very hot and then freeze it. And at the end of the season there is a gap in the hill and the park. It goes without saying that you go in it, but not really the same feeling ..

All in all, it's a really nice facility. Since nightlife is next door away, apart from a pub that is open every night and a smaller disco which is open during the weekends, there is not much to do. Then you come for the party as well, so it's best to check the "Calendar" on the shock website. When larger activities take place, nightlife is usually fun. Too bad it's only 4-6 times a season.

The hops are okay. The rails are the little kids who destroy the jump

Is in the mood almost 7 weeks a year. I think the slopes are okay. Sometimes you do not have a slope! They get days when it comes to snow, there are some good offpiste tracks.
It's not for nothing they've had SM.
