Air your boots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00c5re offers hiking<\/a> in all shapes and forms for both young and old, and for every level of ambition. Climb \u00c5reskutan, take the lift up and walk down \u2013 or take the lift both ways. Your energy, ability, and mood decide the project of the day or weekend. Start from one of the trail centres and find your route to your favourite peak, in and around \u00c5re. In the digital trail guide \u00c5re Trails, you\u2019ll find information on which trails are open, where they start and finish, and how to get there. Remember: you\u2019ll never regret going for a hike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to \u00c5re Trails<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 choose trail based on location, length & duration.<\/p>\n\n\n

Get wet and get warm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Swim and paddle your way through \u00c5re\u2019s stunning lakes, streams, and rivers. There\u2019s no shortage of bathing spots in and around \u00c5re village \u2014 whether you prefer a cosy indoor dip or the wide open spaces of nature. Ride the rapids in a raft, kayak, or ducky, or discover hidden gems by kayak, canoe, or SUP. Hike to a secluded beach and let nature do the rest. And if you like, why not combine the cool water with the comforting heat of one of \u00c5re\u2019s many bookable saunas? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slow down and savour it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone loves to talk about everything they\u2019ve packed into their holidays \u2014 and \u00c5re is bursting with activities for every mood, every forecast. But let\u2019s not forget: holidays are also made for recharging. So give yourself permission to slow down. Where will you find your perfect resting place? Perhaps it\u2019s a hotel bed with crisp, fresh sheets. Or maybe it\u2019s a mossy log deep in the forest, or a sun-warmed rock high up in the mountains. Wherever you pause, take your time. Breathe. Stretch out. Let the view fill your senses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when you\u2019re ready, you\u2019ll find plenty of slow-paced pleasures<\/strong> waiting right here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

Get involved!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

July is the busiest month of the year for events, with plenty of opportunities to get your body moving \u2014 from running and golf to cycling and triathlon.

Take part and give it your all, cheer from the sidelines, or simply stroll around and enjoy the music and lively atmosphere. And if you\u2019d like to be in the middle of the action without competing or spectating, why not join in as a volunteer \u2014 it\u2019s great fun! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find all of July\u2019s<\/strong> events here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

Book an activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adventure and new experiences \u2014 along with the memories they create \u2014 are what summer is all about. Test your grip strength with a beginner\u2019s climbing course or learn how to handle white water in a kayak. Take the family on a rafting trip or challenge each other to a game of bubble football. Practise yoga in the mountains or join a painting course. If you don\u2019t feel like heading out to \u00c5re Bike Park or the mountains on your own, book a guided tour. The options are nearly endless. Go explore below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore \u00c5re<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u00c5re\u201d is a broad concept. It can refer to \u00c5re village, but also to the \u00c5redalen valley, or even the entire \u00c5re municipality. As it should be, the boundaries are fluid \u2014 and the further you stretch them, the more there is to discover. Head out to Duved<\/a> and combine your visit with a hike<\/a> or a fishing trip<\/a>. Explore the landscapes of Eds\u00e5sdalen<\/a>, Trillevallen<\/a>, and V\u00e5l\u00e5dalen<\/a>, and take the opportunity to enjoy lunch or dinner at one of the local restaurants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go for a swim<\/a> in Lake Ottsj\u00f6n or Lake Hensj\u00f6n. And keep your eyes open along the way \u2014 you might just stumble upon a cosy caf\u00e9, a ceramic studio, a quirky shop, or a flea market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step back in time at Fr\u00f6\u00e5 Gruva<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just on the other side of \u00c5reskutan from \u00c5re village, you\u2019ll find Fr\u00f6\u00e5 Gruva<\/a> \u2014 today a peaceful retreat with stunning views, but once a busy mining site where iron ore was brought up from deep underground. Explore scenic walking trails starting from here, visit the historic buildings, and experience a glimpse of \u00c5re\u2019s past. Take a break at Bergstugan for a delicious lunch, or enjoy freshly baked flatbread and traditional kolbulle pancakes. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

Explore Bj\u00f6rnen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bj\u00f6rnen just keeps growing \u2013 and not only in winter. Located south of \u00c5re (turn off the E14 at the petrol station in Bj\u00f6rn\u00e4nge), this area offers much more than great accommodation. Go hiking, cycling or try the outdoor gym. Dine at local restaurants and entertain both kids and adults at the trail cycling arena, where you\u2019ll find skill tracks and pump tracks for all levels.
