Scandinavian Mountains Airport, also referred to as Sälen Trysil Airport, is an airport under construction in Dalarna, Sweden, close to the Norwegian border. It is planned to open in December 2018. It will be the first airport in the world built without an air traffic control tower, instead having a virtual tower.

Contents

It is intended for both scheduled and chartered services, primarily aimed at bringing tourists to the winter sport resorts of Sälen, Idre, Trysil and Engerdal. In addition to the core markets of Norway and Sweden, the intention is to attract significantly more visitors from Denmark, England, Germany, the Netherlands and Russia.

The new airport is being constructed on the site of an existing small sports airfield at Mobergskölen, near Rörbäcksnäs, in Malung-Sälen. It will be first new airport in Sweden since Pajala opened in 1999. The nearest airports from area until the new airport is built are the local Mora Airport (113 km from Sälen/168 km from Trysil) and the large Oslo Airport (213 km from Sälen/171 km from Trysil)
