Stöten is a small resort with a big heart. The locals are passionate and welcoming and want you to have an enjoyable stay. The compact base is cosy and easy to navigate, with the accommodation nestled around the lifts.

The food is some of the best we've tasted in Scandinavia with lots of variety at the base and also on the mountain. All the food is locally sourced with options to please all tastes. There's everything from local, traditional specialities like Wallenbergare and reindeer, through to plenty of regular dishes made to a high standard like pasta, burgers and pizza.

In the afternoon the resort has a wonderful atmosphere and comes alive with Swedish 'afterski' from 3pm which, although lively, is suitable for all ages. This is more relaxed and family-orientated during the school holidays.

It's the perfect resort for building confidence as it's easy to ski top to bottom on a variety of wide and uncrowded runs. Stöten caters for all abilities although the predominantly gentle terrain makes it a particularly good choice for first-time skiers and those who want to refine their technique on confidence-inspiring slopes.

Non-ski activities are plentiful and also within walking distance of the accommodation. Try your hand at snowmobiling, ten pin bowling or even test drive a Suzuki 4x4. If you're looking for a more relaxing pursuit, the resort has swimming pool with spa and sauna (local charge for use).

Stöten offers a premium ski experience with all the luxuries of ski-in ski-out accommodation, great service, facilities and dining, but without a premium price tag.

"Stöten’s wide and immaculately groomed slopes are perfect for learning and improving. Combined with laid back and friendly service it’s a welcoming resort that will delight all ages."

Accommodation in Stöten

Hotel rooms and well-equipped apartments all nestled at the base of the slopes. All the options we offer are ski-in ski-out and within 5 minutes’ walk of everything you need: bars, restaurants, supermarket, ski school and equipment hire.

Customer Reviews

What our customers say about Stöten.

With a super short transfer from the nearest airport, Stöten is a small family friendly resort with a good range of green, blue and red runs. If blacks are your thing it my get a bit repetitive. We had great snow conditions with some fresh snow almost everyday, but not enough to disrupt skiing. We had great ski instruction with the same instructor being allocated everyday which ensured we could j…

Great for families and beginners. Friendly ski school instructors. Pistes were well maintained and not crowded, though the queues for the lifts were slow.

Fantastic family focused resort with a good variety of pistes within easy reach of the nursery slopes. Not the resort for you if you want to ski black runs all day though! The lounge bar at the base of the Vargy express lift is a great base, especially for those with little kids (at lunch time there were grandparents with sleeping tots on several the sofas, really chill and cozy place). Ski school…

Excellent resort for beginners, very laid back and a lot less expensive than we'd been led to believe from people.

A very Swedish resort (don't expect English translations on signs) with ski-school predominantly in Swedish, that depends on two express chairlifts to keep the lift queues down although these do close when wind speeds increase. At peak periods (e.g. Swedish half-term) the closure of these chair-lifts can result in 15-30min queues for the remaining T-bar/button lifts which still provide access to t…

Fantastic resort for children and beginners. Lots of lovely long green and blue runs through the forest. No lift queues, friendly staff, great instructors. A particular highlight was the piste side BBQs in the sunshine.

A super place for families with young kids. Slopes very quiet, even though it was Easter Holidays in the UK, so I never needed to be worried our daughter was going to be taken out. Plenty of snow and the resort had everything we could need. Enough runs to keep Beginners / early intermediates busy.

This was our second visit to Stoten which is a lovely family friendly resort with several easy runs to allow children to start skiing with confidence. The fact that the resort has gone cashless was a pain, although it would have been easier if Ski Safari had told us more in advance as we could have made alternative arrangements since we had already purchased our holiday cash.
