\u00c5re village<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As usual, Broken<\/a> is open every day, the best place for burgers and other things to easily wind down after an active day on the mountain. And milkshakes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Granen Hotell & Restaurang <\/a>is the year-round open hotel located a stone\u2019s throw from \u00c5re square, with a cozy restaurant that feels like coming home. The menu is often updated based on the changes of the seasons and the \u201cright time\u201d for different ingredients. Match with a visit to their well-stocked wine cellar, or at least a look at the looong wine list of Petter at the bottom of this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Holiday Club Hotel <\/a>by the shore of Lake \u00c5resj\u00f6n has many options for food.

Tip: Hike the scenic Trollstigen (trail 212) either on your way up or back down \u2014 a great option for younger kids and families. And if the weather\u2019s nice, why not take a dip in the outdoor pool with one of the best sun \u2013 and view \u2013 locations in \u00c5re? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
