Sälen and Public Right

Sweden as a nation is perma-welcoming dogs and hikers who fancy pines. It’s called public right. Meaning you and your four-legged companion are allowed to set up camp everywhere. Use common sense and don’t trespass. You can find some spectacular spots to set up your bivouac.

Sälen - the town - is situated down in the valley and consists of some supermarkets and a very well supplied outdoor shop that sells everything from Acclima wool clothes to fishing poles and knives - and more Real Turmat freeze dried food for Charlie and me.

Tip: At the Statoil next to the second roundabout on your way up to the area near Sälen Högfjällshotellet from Sälen there is a hidden Fjällräven store-in-store. All the good stuff: Keb to Abisko and all the accessories.

REAL Turmat on Instagram - their website is really boring.

Ask at the Statoil gas station for a 2-day guided trip in Sälen if you are not comfortable hiking on your own. Dogs are welcomed on that trip.
