Tandådalen/Hundfjället (Sälen) is one of more than 250 ski resorts in Sweden. It is located in the Dalecarlia region in the west of the central part of the country on the border with Norway in the Scandinavian Mountains at an altitude between 572 and 872 m with a difference of 300 m.

The main feature of Tandådalen ski resort is that it is 1/5 of the biggest ski region in Sweden with more than 160 km of slopes and more than 130 ski lifts in total together with Lindvallen/Högfjället, Kläppen, Stöten, and Näsfjället i Sälen individual resorts (that's what "ski region" means). In the case of linked slopes, the largest resort in Sweden is Åre in the same Jämtland County with more than 90 km of slopes and more than 30 ski lifts in total. Anyway, as an individual resort, Tandådalen is also quite large offering half of that or more than 45 km of slopes and more than 40 ski lifts in total. It is the largest of 5 resorts in the Sälen region. The resort is best suitable for easy and intermediate skiing — most of its slopes are blue and red. For advanced skiers, there are 10 km (mi) of blue and black slopes. The most common type of ski lift is a chairlift. The Tandådalen/Hundfjället season is from early mid-November to early May in general.
