Taking it easy is also an important activity for children in \u00c5re. We\u2019ve picked out a few tips for both small and large. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Read at the library<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take a break from all outdoor activities and read a good book in the cosy reading area of \u200b\u200bthe \u00c5re Library<\/a>. The library is located at the railway station house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Go fishing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Buy a fishing license<\/a>, rent a boat and try your luck out on Lake \u00c5resj\u00f6n, or try the brook in Ull\u00e5n. Don\u2019t forget to bring some coffee \u2013 all fishing trips are better with a good cup of coffee. Find places to go fishing here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Ride the funicular<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take \u00c5re\u2019s first lift<\/a> a short bit the mountain. This old pulley system is over 100 years but is as equally strong today as it was then. Don\u2019t forget to wave to oncoming carriage! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Ride the cable car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A seven minutes\u2019 trip <\/a>from valley to mountain with butterflies in your stomach as you swish past the cabin pillars. You may even get a chance to make a snowball at the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Ristafallet waterfall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Or the Glupafallet<\/a> waterfall as it is called in the famous Astrid Lindgren book, Ronia The Robber\u2019s Daughter. Follow the tiny paths downstream to see the water charging by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. \u00c5re Hembygdsg\u00e5rd<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Summer caf\u00e9, flatbread baking, soft green grass to run around the farmhouses and a swing overlooking Mt. \u00c5reskutan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Eat ice cream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Gr\u00e4dda<\/a>, award-winning gelato is made with local milk from \u00c5remj\u00f6lk, giving it that irresistibly smooth, velvety texture that makes gelato so special. It\u2019s well worth a stop! Over at \u00c5re Bageri<\/a>, homemade Italian gelato is another delicious reason to take a detour. Stick with your favorite flavor or discover a new one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Kayaking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kayaking through gurgling water in a peaceful environment is not so bad. Why not finish it off with a dip and lunch over open fire? Kayaks are available at: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore \u00c5re<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 rent a\u00a0canoe<\/a>,\u00a0SUP<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Mega SUP<\/a>\u00a0which is a big SUP that can carry a whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holiday Club, Kayakomat<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 book a kayak or SUP online and pick it up at \u00c5re strand (\u00c5re beach promenade)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V\u00f6ks Outdoor<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 book a kanoe, kayak or SUP and pick ut up at \u00c5re strand (\u00c5re beach promenade)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
