Åreskutan hiking trails
5 June–27 September
In June, hiking season comes to life in Åre. Starting June 5, several lower-elevation trails are open and marked. As the snow continues to melt, more trails higher up on Åreskutan and throughout the mountain landscape gradually open. The goal is for all trails to be accessible by Midsummer, although opening dates depend entirely on snow conditions.
The mountain is open at all hours.

Lift passes
All lifts, including the Funicular and Cable car and Åre Trail Park require a Lift Pass. The easiest way to purchase a lift pass is online. This allows you to change your booking up until one day before the day you’ve set. You may also charge or re-charge your lift pass (recharging is only possible if you already have the physical lift pass) in the SkiStar app. If you don’t have the card/physical lift pass, you can book one via the app and pick it up at one of the automatic machines that are placed next to the lifts. You may also purchase a lift pass via one of SkiStar’s shops.
