See you in Åre!
Hiking
Hiking in Åre is easy. Many hiking trails start from the village square, and if you don’t want to walk the whole distance, you can choose to take the lift and start the hike a bit further up on the mountain. The hiking trails on Mount Åreskutan are varied in length and degree of difficulty and there are trails suitable for both families and experienced hikers. Also explore Renfjället, Mullfjället, Välliste, Storlien, Vålådalen and more of the wonderful mountain areas in Åre’s proximity. Soak up the clear mountain air and beautiful views!
Stay comfortably, feel your best
Design hotels, boutique hotels, sports hotels, B&Bs and guest houses – here you are guaranteed to find accommodation that suits you. Of course, you leave all thoughts of cooking and dishes at home – here you can enjoy tasty dinners at a set table.
Åre boasts several restaurants and cafes that are listed in the White Guide. Body and mind can relax at one of Åre’s spa facilities. Enjoy a beneficial treatment, take a few swims in the pool and finish with a long, nice sauna.
Biking
Åre is an MTB biking mecca for everyone from curious beginners to die-hard enthusiasts. In Björnen there is Åre’s newly built mountain bike area with fun and easy XC biking trails, technical training course and a pump track. At Åreskutan, Åre’s many downhill trails are suitable for everyone with a little sense of adventure – big and small. Do you prefer asphalt? Yes, then you take the road bike with you and tackle Åre’s challenging uphill slopes instead.
Activities
In Åre, the playground is always open and a new adventure awaits around every corner. There is a whole bunch of activities to try during a weekend. How about paddling a kayak or canoe, SUP, or climbing a mountain wall, or taking a refreshing cold bath in Lake Åresjön?
Places to visit
