Season opening on June 5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This day marks the season opening of \u00c5re Bike Park Downhill, which means events and happenings all round. This is a highlight for experienced cyclists and curious beginners with a touch of National Day celebrations but, of course, you don\u2019t have to be on two wheels to take the lift and get a ride up to higher grounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip! If you plan on renting a bike, please place your booking well beforehand as pressure is high this day. What you need to know: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love hiking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Long and winding trails with a view are easy to find in and around \u00c5re, but so too are easier alternatives for getting out and experiencing nature, which is clad in the pure green hues of early summer. Reach higher altitudes and explore the surroundings from 1420 metres above sea level by taking the lift to \u00c5reskutan\u2019s peak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you lack any equipment to make today\u2019s and future hiking tours comfortable, stop by a shop whose competent staff is ready to help you cover your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A reminder: In June, the ground is still wet from the winter\u2019s downpour. Seek drier terrain to help protect our trails and mountains from excessive wear and tear. Also, nature is full of new life and curious and unsuspecting little ones, so keep your dog on a lead (always), avoid bushy areas and avoid getting close to baby animals, as well as their parents. Thanks for your help! <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

Eat outdoors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Food consumed under a bare sky tastes better, especially by an open fire but likewise by a portable stove or straight from your backpack. June is a great time to try cooking outdoors, especially at the beginning of the month as many restaurants have more modest opening hours then. Take an outing where food is the goal and make use of the fire pits by \u00c5re beach promenade or in Bj\u00f6rnen, for example. <\/p>\n\n\n

High altitude adventures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Challenge yourself and others and feel the adrenaline rush in SkiStars climbing park in Bj\u00f6rnen where you will find ten courses of varying difficulty. This is perfect for the family, a group of friends or a hen and stag party! Prepare for problem solving at high altitude (the highest point is 12 meters above ground level) and rush between the trees on the zipline course. You need to be at least 7 years old and 120 centimeters tall, and for younger adventurers there is a smaller park in central Bj\u00f6rnen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience \u00c5re from above<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You hear the sound and see them in the sky all year round: Paragliders launching from \u00c5reskutan and floating around the village. It\u2019s surely an unbeatable feeling to fly freely and watch the world below. It\u2019s not really something you do on your own at first, but Skysport \u00c5re<\/a> offers both tandem flights and introductory courses if you\u2019ve been bitten by the paragliding bug. Visit Skysport \u00c5re here. <\/p>\n\n\n

Hang out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00c5re square, the marina, the beach, the skate park, Ull\u00e5n, Tegeforsen, \u00c5re park\u2026 you\u2019ll find all these places within walking distance of \u00c5re village and they\u2019re perfect for just hanging out and doing whatever that might entail. Pack your bag with good food, drinks, a book, a blanket, maybe an outdoor game, or whatever suits you best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to be sure to find coffee, ice cream and sweet drinks nearby, there\u2019s a list of tips on where to find them here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

Celebrate Midsummer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Midsummer\u2019s Eve is a rather quiet affair, so do your own thing. Hike, bike, stroll, swim, paddle or whatever you like. Spend time on the mountain or by a stream or in the forest with a backpack filled of good food and drinks for a nice picnic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join in on traditional Midsummer Celebrations in Fr\u00f6\u00e5 Gruva<\/a>, Bj\u00f6rnen. Spend time with friends and family and go on an excursion and make the most of Midsummer\u2019s day as the lifts will be have extra long opening hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrate Midsummer\u2019s day \u2013 the longest day of the year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Celebrate Midsummer Day with mountain adventures long into the evening. Enjoy world-class downhill biking, high-altitude hiking, and 360\u00b0 views from the top of \u00c5reskutan. The Gondola and Stj\u00e4rnliften stay open until 21:00 (!) for biking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to end the day with football? The Gondola runs until 22:00, taking you to Base Camp on \u00c5reskutan to watch Sweden\u2019s World Cup match on a giant screen surrounded by mountain views. And best of all? The Gondola is free all day long. Back in the village, Broken\u2019s DJ keeps the party going from 22:00 to 01:00. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Run up, down, traverse, go on your own or participate in a race, of which there are plenty to choose from in June. Why not gather colleagues, friends and family and participate in the St Olavs relay from Trondheim to \u00d6stersund? Anyone, from young to old, from elite to beginner, can take part, thanks to the relay format. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or try Fj\u00e4llmaraton Gastronomi (Gastronomy) at the end of June where you can enjoy local food produce served at the stations along the classical Fj\u00e4llmaraton trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrate diversity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are, as you can see, plenty of things to celebrate in June and diversity is another thing that can be on your priority list of things to honor. There are many ways of being an outdoor person and that should be heard, seen and felt. Outdoor Pride is all about diversity and on June 28th, this is marked with a parade where anyone who values human rights and equality can participate. It starts from \u00c5re torg which will be painted in the colors of the rainbow, music, exhibitors and activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

River rafting and paddling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

June is one of the best times of the year for paddling and white-water rafting in \u00c5re. As snowmelt from the mountains fills the rivers and streams, exciting rapids await, along with calmer routes where you can drift through the landscape and experience the mountains from a completely different perspective. Whether you\u2019re looking for adrenaline or a more relaxed adventure, there are water-based experiences for both beginners and experienced paddlers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eateries in June<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
