Malung-Sälen Municipality

Template:Infobox settlement

Malung-Sälen Municipality (Template:Langx) is a municipality in Dalarna County in central Sweden. Its seat is located in the town of Malung.

Malung Municipality was created in 1971 by the amalgamation of "old" Malung with the adjacent entities Lima and Transtrand. In 2007 the Government of Sweden<ref>Government Press Release (Swedish), 1 March 2007 Template:Webarchive</ref> decided to approve the present name, which took effect on 1 January 2008. The reason for the double name, the only of its kind in Sweden, is to promote the skiing resort area Sälen in the northern part of the municipality.Template:Citation needed
