Outdoor experiences

The best experiences are for free

Some of Åre's most memorable experiences are waiting right outside the door—and nature doesn't charge admission. Hike a mountain trail, watch the immense power of Tännforsen, or get up close to the thundering waters of Ristafallet. Pack something to eat, find a beautiful spot, and let the view provide the entertainment. Sometimes, that's all you need.

And the outdoor experiences don't end with summer. On dark, clear nights, the northern lights may suddenly start dancing across the sky, and when the ice is safe, frozen lakes invite you out for long, gliding tours on Nordic skates. Each season transforms the landscape and brings new ways to explore it—from the vibrant colors of fall in the mountains to winter's snow-covered expanses.

Whatever the season, it's often the simplest moments that stay with you the longest. A view, an ice-cold swim, a fire at a trailside rest area, or simply the feeling of being surrounded by something bigger.
