Boost your heart rate

In Åre, summer adventure can mean anything from a trail run in the mountains to the rush of speeding down Åreskutan on a bike or soaring through the air beneath a paraglider. Here are seven adrenaline-filled summer activities to inspire your next adventure.

Biking

Åre has a world class bike park and during the summer season it’s crowded with enthusiasts in both Åre Bike Park and on the trails in the mountains. You don’t have to be an experienced cyclist to get started – there are different levels of difficulties to choose from. In Björnen there’s a large pump track perfect for children and there’s another at Åre Square in the middle of the village. Here you’ll find most of what you need to know about cycling in Åre, regardless of whether you are experienced, a beginner, prefer country roads, mountain trails or downhill.

Rock climbing

Climbing is an incredibly fun sport that’s demanding, requires agility, and where you use equal parts body and brain. If you’re looking for an adventure for the whole family or with friends, book a guided tour with Explore Åre or JoPe Fors & Fjäll.

Paragliding

Up, up, and away! Start on Mt. Åreskutan and hurl yourself out – you’ll see the mountain world like never before. While in Åre, Skysport will take you on the adventure of a lifetime in the form of tandem flying or paragliding courses. Take advantage of a beautiful day and make the most of it.

Trail running

Run, run, run on the mountain. Årefjällen is very suitable for running in a mountain environment. In the digital trail map Åre Trails you’ll find all the trails and it can be useful to read a little here before heading out. Trail running works fine also with children and there are suitable trails for those not so experienced.

Padel

Padel is one of the fastest growing sports in Sweden and if you’ve tried it, you’ll understand why. Boost your heart rate with family and friends. Remember to warm up properly first to improve your game and to keep the orthopaedist away. Åre Sportcenter in Duved has paddle courts for double and single games.

JumpYard

Let your inner-child’s mind unfold and play freely at JumpYard. And of course, bring the kids, if you want. You can climb, jump, bounce, roll over and zipline indoors. Only your imagination and possibly the shape you’re in will limit you.

Go all out at JumpYard.

Work out at a gym

There are several gyms in Åre that offer everything you’ll need in the form of gym equipment and training sessions, such as SATS at Holiday Club. There is also an outdoor gym for those who prefer to stay outside and maybe even run to the gym, Anna Swenn Larsson’s gym is located with wonderful views on the lake side of Holiday Club.
