Run far, short, high or low – you decide. The mountains around Åre village are perfectly suited for trail running.

Zipline

Between the trees, the air opens up. You glide forward, high above the ground, the wind against your face and a lingering thrill that stays with you just a little longer than expected. The line carries you from platform to platform, and suddenly the forest feels bigger—and you feel a little braver.
