Energise Yourselves

Adventurous Activities

Biking

In winter, Mount Åreskutan offers world class alpine skiing. In summer and autumn it hosts Scandinavia’s largest Bike Park with Downhill cycling on the front of the mountain and a large area for Trail Cycling (XC) in Björnen. Åre’s Biking Guides will help you to find the right trails for your group, as well as the right difficulty and tempo. Downhill cycling is guaranteed to give you an adrenaline rush and enjoyable stomach tingling, while Trail Cycling demands a bit more effort on the way up but provides a smooth ride through the woods on the way down. And, for your information, electric bikes are available for rental.

Culinary Activities

Outdoor Dinner

To gather around an open fire and cook dinner together is a winning concept every day of the week – whether it be a simple dish or a grand three-course meal. Take a seat on a reindeer hide and enjoy the evening’s food and beverages while the sun slowly sets over the valley. An experience to put in the vault!

Åre Chocolate Factory

For over 30 years, the local chocolate factory Åre Chokladfabrik has provided the world with handmade chocolates of the highest quality (approximately nine million of them so far). Every year, carefully handmade pralines leave the factory – the truffles are made, the pralines are cut into squares, dipped, garnished, and placed in paper cones. A visit here is tailored entirely to your own wishes, but one thing is for sure, you’ll get to peek into the factory and learn everything you need to know about chocolate – and of course get to taste the delicious truffles. Or, book a chocolate tasting event where Åre Chokladfabrik comes to you.

Hiking with a Taste of Åre

A short gastronomic mountain hike or historical walk through the village with a few stops along the way where you can enjoy locally produced delicacies such as cheese, charcuterie, chocolate, and drinks while learning more about the village’s gastronomy. A deliciously divine combo!

Other Gems

Summiting Mt. Åreskutan

Standing on Mt. Åreskutan’s summit at 1420 meters above sea level with a view of the entire mountain range in a 360° angle surpasses most things in life. And summiting Mt. Åreskutan doesn’t have to be so hard. Instead of hiking up from the foot of the mountain, take the cable car up to the mountain station at 1274 meters above sea level. Then it’s only a 2.1 km hike with a climb of 187 meters left before you reach the summit.

Morning Coffee

Imagine your first cup of coffee in the morning being served with a breathtaking view – it’s the ultimate start to your day. And you won’t have to go far. Try the view from the mountain side just above the village or head down to the lake and enjoy the view over Lake Åresjön and the mighty Mullfjället.

Tännforsen & Ristafallet

The water rushes, thunders, roars, changes colour and continues its journey downstream just as it’s done for ages. Tännforsen is Sweden’s largest waterfall and is a powerful experience all year round. Ristafallet is not as large as Tännforsen but it’s a mighty experience as you can get very close to it. Ristafallet is also the set for the scenes where Glupafallet appears in the film adaptation of Astrid Lindgren’s Ronja the Robber’s Daughter.

& More

In addition to these, there are a number of other experiences and classic team building activities such as pentathlon in the mountains, build your own toboggan and host your own Åre Winter Games. Contact one of Åre’s activity companies for more information regarding tailored experiences.
