\u00c5re offers easy access to hiking with magnificent views and the village has all the comfort you could imagine. We claim that hiking in \u00c5re is pure luxury. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hiking trails start from \u00c5re Square, but if you don\u2019t want to walk the whole way from the valley to top of the mountain, take the lift and start your hike from higher grounds. The trails are varied, ranging from simple one-hour tours to more challenging day trips for more experienced hikers. After a day\u2019s walk, take the lift back to the village for an after-hike on a sunny outdoor patio and dinner at one of our renowned restaurants. After dinner, crawl into a nice hotel bed for a good night\u2019s sleep, then you\u2019ll start all over again the next day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiking trails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hiking near \u00c5re and on Mt. \u00c5reskutan is varied in length and severity \u2013 ranging from shorter trips that suit the whole family to more challenging hikes for advanced hikers. Whatever your goal and level of hiking, enjoy the clear mountain air and the beautiful views stress free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reach the top of \u00c5reskutan<\/a> you can either start your hike from the village square and walk all the way up, starting on trail 212<\/a> to Fj\u00e4llg\u00e5rden<\/a>, from there continuing along trail 214<\/a>. Or, take one of the lifts up to make the hike shorter or more accessible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reach Ull\u00e5dalen either by car, starting from the parking area, or on foot from central \u00c5re via Buustamon. From Ull\u00e5dalen, you can extend your hike to Mullfj\u00e4llet and Duved if you're up for an even bigger adventure. Expect stunning mountain views, rushing streams, and spectacular alpine scenery along the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find the right trail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the \u00c5re Trails <\/a>website, all hiking trails are included with number, name, length, altitude, approximate time, difficulty, and some general information about the character of the trail. It has everything you\u2019ll need to know for a great hiking stay in \u00c5re. You can also have a look att the hiking trail map (PDF)<\/a> for an overview of all the trails.<\/p>\n\n\n

Carry a light backpack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Walking on Mt. \u00c5reskutan, in Ull\u00e5dalen or Totthummeln does not require large heavy backpacks, but there are some necessities you should carry with you. If you\u2019re on a longer trip, further away from the village, coffee and supplementary energy in your backpack is one of them and don\u2019t forget to fill up with cold water from the mountain streams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do not want to pack a bag, BaseCamp<\/a> in Kabinbanan\u2019s peak station serves simpler ready meals, hot dogs, pastries and beverages. At Mt. \u00c5reskutan\u2019s top station 1420 m.a.s.l is Sweden\u2019s highest-rated caf\u00e9 Toppstugan<\/a> where waffles are a real classic! Follow trail 214B.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Buustamons Fj\u00e4llg\u00e5rd <\/a>in the Ull\u00e5dalen area, you can enjoy well prepared food in the restaurant. You'll find your way to Buustamon by trail 210<\/a>.Find more restaurants<\/a> in \u00c5re here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather can change quickly so always make sure you pack a wind and water resistant jacket, a warm sweater and fluids. Here you\u2019ll find a more complete list<\/a> of the right equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n

Apr\u00e8s hike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take a lift back to the village after your hike (if you do not want to walk off course) and have a nice afternoon and evening at your own pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more enjoyable activities, enjoy relaxing spa treatments<\/a>, cool drinks at outdoor patios<\/a>, paddling SUP,<\/a> a coffee break<\/a> or stroll around the shops<\/a> throughout the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have loads of energy left, try downhill mountain biking<\/a>, kayaking, river rafting<\/a>, the climbing park<\/a> with zipline or take a refreshing dip<\/a> in Lake \u00c5resj\u00f6n.<\/p>\n\n\n
