Trail biking in Sälen

Lindvallen has six bike trails of varying difficulty levels – ranging from easy beginner trails to tougher and more challenging trails. Many of the trails start from the SkiStar Bike Park Trail at Experiumtorget, where there are also two large pump tracks, a skills area, a climbing park, toilets and refreshments.

The bike trails consist mainly of excavated trails that run through forests and fields. The trails feature varying difficulty levels (green/blue/red) with elements of jumps, drops and regular bends. 

You need a TrailPass to cycle on the trails. A damped-suspension bike is recommended here, but a mountain bike can also handle the terrain. TrailPass is always cheapest online and you can quickly and easily pick up your pre-booked TrailPass in one of our SkiPass pick up automats. The TrailPass enables continued development and maintenance of the trails with a focus on sustainability for nature, landowners and guests.

Bicycle for trail biking in Sälen

Which bike you should use for your visit depends on the purpose. If you will mainly be cycling on trails and gravel roads without jumps and drops, a trail bike is a good choice. If you don't have a trail bike, you can rent a bike in Sälen. A helmet is then included in the price and packing for the trip is easier.

For longer trips, it can be practical to use an electric trail bike. These have full suspension with a battery-powered motor that gives you more power and helps you tackle rough and hilly terrain. However, this one is poorly suited to downhill.
