STF Sälen Gräsheden Hostel

The hostel dates back to the 1850s and is located on Gräsheden – The Grass Heath. The first person to settle here worked as a gränsridare (border rider) and oversaw the border with neighbouring Norway.

The hostel offers practical and pleasant accommodation in double or multiple-bed rooms. There are washbasins and toilets in most rooms. Showers and a sauna are also available as well as a self-catering kitchen.

If you’d like to experience nature on foot, you can walk along one of the country’s longest hiking trails, which passes close to the hostel. Within an hour's drive you can reach Sweden's highest waterfall Njupeskär and most recent national park Fulufjället. The closest ski resort with maintained cross-country skiing tracks and ski slopes is ten kilometres away. Other mountain skiing facilities in the Sälen area can be reached within half an hour and STF Hostel Sälen is also well positioned for day trips to Trysil in Norway.
