Wednesday
16:40 – 23:55
Jump on the train somewhere between Malmö and Uppsala. Your destination line heading towards Undersåker, Åre, Duved, Ånn, Enafors and Storlien. Have a bite in the restaurant carriage on your way to Stockholm then let the train’s chugging slowly cradle you through the night.
Thursday
07:30 – 09:00
You’ve arrived! If you booked a transfer to Vålådalen, Trillevallen or Storulvån, it’s just a short trip left to your final destination. Otherwise, jump off here and let your long weekend begin.
Around 09:00
Start the day with breakfast or coffee at your favorite hotel or café, then plan your route with Åre Trails—the digital guide to hiking in the Åre mountains.
10:30
Wearing the appropriate clothes for the weather, it’s time for today’s adventure. Maybe a turn around Totthummeln (trail 213) is on the list?
12:00
Lunch. If your trip has been around Totthummeln, stop in for lunch at one of the village’s restaurants.
14:00
Now's the time to stock up on trail snacks, food, and anything you may have forgotten before heading into the mountains. Åre offers plenty of shops with everything you need for your hiking adventure. If you'd rather travel light, you can also rent outdoor gear—from hiking boots and jackets to tents—at Outdoor Buddies.
16:00
Arriving at a hotel, cottage or apartment. Repack and preparing for tomorrow’s adventure. Take a load off and relax.
19:00
Dinner. Choose from the village’s restaurants. Not everyone stays open during the autumn, but there’s enough to try a new one every day.
21:00
Early evening? May be needed if you’re tired and if you’re not, head into a laid back bar or restaurant.

Friday
07:30
Rise and shine, it’s time for breakfast!
09:00
The first day trip is to Mt. Åreskutan. Here are some different options, but Mt. Åreskutan’s peak, weather permitting, is a great trip. Check out the weather on SkiStar’s webb site and trail variations here before departing and count on a full day trip so bring some extra snacks for along the way.
The view from Mörvikshummeln is no less than stunning.

10:30
Time for a snack overlooking Åredalen.
12:00
Depending on the trail you chose, you may be at the Kabinbanan Mountain Station by now. There’s a heating station with toilets if you have a packed lunch and if not you can purchase something at Basecamp Åreskutan.
13.00
Fortsätt upp till Åreskutans topp och Toppstugan. Hembakta bullar, våfflor och annat gott finns här på Sveriges högst belägna servering. Häng kvar på toppen en stund och njut av din bedrift. Härifrån ser ni ut över både Åredalen och Kallbygden. Om det är klart väder förstås.
14.00
Descent. There are a few different options to take you back to the village. You can follow the same trail you took to the top, spice it up and take a new trail back or give your knees a rest and take the cable car down.
16:00–18:00
Back in the village. Enjoy a well-deserved rest at any outdoor seating.
19:00
Dinner. Same setup as yesterday.

Rise and shine! It’s time for breakfast again, but today we can take it a bit easier.
10:00
Day trip 2. Let’s take a turn towards Ullådalen. The tour is called Rödkullerundan (trail 210) and you can choose to take it directly from the village or take the chair lift from Hummeln and join in there.
11.30
Snack time. With a view.
15:00
Buustamon Fjällgård opens. Stop for a coffee or something from the bar menu if you haven’t pre-booked the mountain menu. If you have pre-booked the mountain menu, we hope you packed your swimwear for the sauna and outdoor pool is included.
Take a well-earned break at the cozy mountain retreat of Buustamons Fjällgård.
