Sälens Högfjällshotell, known as Högis, hosts conferences, kick-offs and wedding dinners in the Swedish mountains at Sälen. Its conference department has six meeting rooms and a Business Lounge, and the winter garden hall takes groups of up to 800 people. A cinema with 76 seats, a spa and several restaurants and bars sit in the same building.
Seminars and company events
The conference department has six rooms with a Business Lounge, where conference hosts are present every day. Large windows face the mountain and give natural light all day. Typical equipment is a projector, a sound system, a whiteboard and Wi-Fi, and two rooms have a Webex set-up. The hotel's conference pages also cover transport to the conference, food and drink, activities and booking terms.
Groups that want a different format can use the hotel's own cinema, Vinterpalatset, a real cinema with sloping seating, well suited to lectures and talks. The hotel can serve popcorn during the day if asked. Conference activities are sold separately, and the resort around the hotel offers dog sledding, snowmobile safaris, ice karting, cross-country and downhill skiing, snowkiting and a ski school.
Rooms and capacities
Clüwer is the largest meeting room: 88 m2, with 100 seats in cinema layout and 60 in classroom layout. Dalarna (44 m2) takes 45 in cinema layout or 35 in classroom. Gustav Wasa (45 m2) takes 45 or 40. Three boardrooms, Sälen (20 m2), Kullan (18.8 m2) and Masen (20 m2), seat 10 each.
The winter garden, Vinterträdgården, is on the lower level. It has 660 m2 of floor and windows toward the mountain, and the hotel can build grandstands, a catwalk or a trade show there. In cinema layout it holds 800 people. Vinterpalatset, the cinema, is 65 m2 with 76 reclining seats.
Weddings and receptions
Wedding dinners are held in private restaurant rooms. Onkel Jean, which the hotel calls its most beautiful room, has a view over the slope and seats up to 50 in a chambre separée. Jack's BBQ Shack takes up to 70, and a snowmobile sled ride to dinner is part of the idea. Afrikarummet suits a smaller party, and Champagnehyllan works for guests who want to continue with other people after dinner. The hotel can also be rented in full for an exclusive wedding. It helps with dinner, venue and accommodation. Ceremony, flowers, hair and photographer are booked by the couple, with contacts recommended by the hotel. Sälens Fjällkyrka is a short distance away, and a ceremony on the mountain is possible.
Accommodation
Room types run from single and double rooms to connecting rooms, family rooms, a mini suite, junior suites (some with a sauna) and suites. Apartments can be booked through Skistar. The hotel lists spa, gym and sauna facilities and yoga and spinning classes for guests.
Catering
The hotel names several restaurants and bars, including Brasserie Clüver, Pianobaren, TBar, TB Grill, TB Wine Room, Leffes Burgers and Pizza and Jack's BBQ Shack. It describes its restaurants and bars as award-winning and its wine cellars as a feature of wedding dinners.
History and setting
Högis is the official Vasaloppet center, and the hotel operates from December to April as a winter resort base. The site also includes the resort's own history page.
Getting there
The hotel's address is Clüvers väg 35, 780 91 Sälen. Its menu lists a page on Scandinavian Mountains Airport and one on how to travel to the conference.
