Åre is known for its events and is known for having many of them. After a period of not gathering crowds of people, we’re now finally back to a time when the organizers are fully recharged and stoked to create new experiences for us again. This year offers an exciting mix of sports events, music, food and markets. We’re now enjoying the whole event year 2022, experiencing all the sprints, finish lines and clear concert nights we’ve been longing for.
