Nordic skiing

You can see your steaming breath takes in front of you, your poles fit perfectly in your hands and the ski wax is just right. To put your entire body at work in a cross-country trail is the best tip our local physiotherapists tell us in order to keep our bodies strong and flexible. And to get off the groomed tracks and head into the wild on natural trails is often a treat for your soul.

The best part is that you can actually fit both into the same day. Find your favourites among Åre’s cross-country and backcountry ski trails below, and discover even more routes throughout the Åre mountains in the digital trail guide Åre Trails. You’ll find trails for both cross-country and backcountry skiing in Björnen, Ullådalen and on Lake Åre, as well as in the cross-country skiing haven of Vålådalen and in Edsåsdalen and Trillevallen in the southern Åre mountains.

Get out there and enjoy it!
