Autumn checklist:

  • Breathe in autumn! Let your eyes rest on the colourful mountain landscape. Enjoy the silence. Breathe in and fill your lungs with the fresh, crisp air. Autumn is MAGICAL in the mountains!
  • Have your morning coffee at the top of Totthummeln and watch the morning mist lift over the valley.
  • Ride a flowy XC trail in Björnen or try downhill in Åre Bike Park. The lifts are open throughout September.

  • Visit Åre Chocolate Factory – sample and take your favourites home.
  • Go hiking. It’s no exaggeration that autumn is the most beautiful time for hiking, so pack a fika, choose a suitable route and head out to enjoy the mountains.

  • Take a selfie by the ÅRE letters at Mörvikshummeln.
  • Pick chanterelles – the forest’s gold. Pan-fry in butter and serve on sourdough toast.
  • Enjoy award-winning coffee at Åre Kafferosteri with a view over Åre Square.

  • Cook dinner over an open fire.
  • Stand on the summit of a mountain. Tip: Totthummeln, Mullfjället or Åreskutan.
  • → Ride the Cable Car to the top of Mount Åreskutan. In just seven minutes, you’ll travel from Åre Village at 421 meters above sea level to the mountain station at 1,274 meters, with panoramic views across the Jämtland mountains.
  • Wander through the village and soak up the atmosphere.
  • Visit one of the valley’s spectacular waterfalls—there are five to choose from.
  • Watch the Northern Lights dance across the night sky.
  • Slow down with a long coffee break at one of Åre’s cozy cafés.
  • Take a refreshing cold plunge in a mountain tarn. An endorphin rush guaranteed.
  • Hit the trails for a run. Sunshine or rain, every run has its own charm.
  • Enjoy a waffle at Toppstugan, Sweden’s highest café, perched on the summit of Åreskutan at 1,420 meters above sea level.
  • Sample a local Åre beer—home to no fewer than four craft breweries.
  • End the day by a crackling fire while the autumn wind howls outside.
