Autumn break in the mountains

The autumn break is probably the most colourful holiday we have, with the vivid colours of mountain birch, mushrooms and berries. It offers everything from cycling and mountain hikes to water parks and climbing parks, but at a slightly slower pace than the summer and winter holidays.

For the best autumn break in Sweden, come to Sälen – the perfect place for a fantastic holiday packed with adventure and activities.

Hiking and biking in the mountains

Fresh, crisp autumn air, a landscape full of magical colours, the murmur of mountain streams and a calmer pace of life with fewer visitors – there are many advantages to hiking and biking in the mountains during the autumn break. The trails at all our destinations get a whole new autumn look and the mountain forests offer a silence you won't find anywhere else. 

As the autumn break at our Norwegian ski resorts is on different dates than in the UK and other countries, you may experience reduced activity offerings outside of the mentioned weeks.
