Are you interested in working and staying in Åre? If you’re working or studying remotely or if you wish to move your office to the mountains, we have the tips you need here. Or maybe you’re even thinking about moving permanently to Åre but want to try it out for a shorter period of time before deciding. Then you’ve also come to the right place. Below you’ll find tips on what to think about and some good to know-information.
Nedan hittar du information och tips om sånt som kan vara bra att tänka på innan du tar steget och annat som är bra att veta.
Your workspace in Åre
Whether you're in Åre for a short stay or thinking about making it home for a while, having an inspiring place to work can make all the difference. Maybe you just need a desk for the day, a quiet spot to take a few meetings, or a comfortable workspace for several days. At the coworking space House Be, you can book day passes or weekly passes—or, if you decide to stay longer, become part of their community as a member.
During the day, most people in Åre are out enjoying the mountains, making it easy to find a quiet spot to work from a cozy hotel lobby or one of the village's cafés. You'll also be just steps away from great coffee, lunch, and after-work drinks when it's time to wrap up for the day. If you're looking for an even quieter setting, you can settle in at the library in Stationshuset.
Good to know
Finding a place to live is often the first step when you're thinking about staying somewhere for a while. Consider how close you want to be to central Åre and its shops, restaurants, and services, as well as what your day-to-day life will look like depending on where you choose to live.
Some questions to start with:
- Are there grocery stores and other service points near by or is it okay-to not have those things within walking distance?
- Is parking included in your accommodation?
- Finns det kollektivtrafik i anslutning till ditt boende?
- Does the rent include Internet connection?
- Is there enough space for inviting friends and family to stay?
When you have decided what type of accommodation you are looking for you can start by checking with the accommodation services, such as SkiStar that are available in Åre. You can also check at airbnb.se, blocket.se and various Facebook pages if there are private housing options available for rent. Some hotels offer longstay as well (see below). Hotels that don’t have specific longstay offers might also adjust their price if you are staying for a longer period of time.
Tip!
Check outside Åre village, for example in Tegefjäll, Ullån, Duved or Undersåker. Prices are often reduced if you search a bit further from Åre center.
