Skiing Sälen from Copenhagen
Sälen sits 320–900 m in Sweden. Driving is cheaper than flying on this route — roughly 612 km each way, about 10 hours door to door.
Worth knowing. No vertical to speak of, and nothing at all for a strong skier.
Pre-season — snow reliability. There is no meaningful snow on the models yet, so resorts are ranked on how snow-sure they are: altitude adjusted for latitude, glacier cover and the size of the ski area. Live scoring resumes automatically once the snow arrives. How we rank
