The vast highland plateau of Sälen has a lot to offer for mountain bike riders. Young and old, experienced or beginner, there is a trail for anyone if you know how to find them. And we do!
When you tag along a guided mountainbike trail tour with us, you will get to discover the best hidden trails and most beautiful terrain that the area has to offer. The guides at Fjälläventyr are passionate about helping new riders evolve in their trail riding in a safe and encouraging way, and to show experienced riders with a taste for epic downhill runs and hard climbs the hidden gems of the area.

Q&A - get prepared
What do I need to bring?
Bring your own kit or rent a bike and protection from us. You will require a modern trail bike, helmet and knee pads. Make sure you dress for the occasion. Helmet is mandatory on all tours, thin gloves and knee pads are recommended.
How do I dress?
Weather change fast in the mountains and it’s important to be prepared. Dress with layers and avoid cotton closest to your body. A warm sweater or rain jacket is practical to keep warm when we stop for breaks. Helmet is mandatory on all tours, thin gloves and knee pads are recommended.
For your feet – use sneakers with as flat sole as possible in order to get a good grip on the pedals. Basketball sneakers or similar shoes for indoor use is actually way better than trail running shoes with a rough tread pattern. Count on the shoes being wet and dirty when you get back from the tour!
