The colourful autumn is now at an end. The leaves have blown off the trees and it\u2019s starting to get dark, cold and ragged. It\u2019s the perfect time to stay indoors in front of a crackling fire. White flakes begin to fall from the sky, spreading light both outdoors and indoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be time to go skiing soon so here are ten tips on what to do in \u00c5re this rather dark but cosy month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIRST WEEKEND OF ADVENT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas starts to make its way into \u00c5re during the First weekend of Advent, 27\u201329 November. At \u00c5re Torg, the Christmas tree goes up and mulled wine, gingerbread cookies, and a Christmas concert set the mood, while the shops fill with new winter arrivals and Christmas gifts ready to go under the tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere around the village, look forward to ski film premieres, cozy bar hangouts, and plenty of reasons to stay out a little longer. A weekend with Christmas in the air, excitement for winter, and \u00c5re gearing up for a new season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING IN V\u00c5L\u00c5DALEN<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross-country season in V\u00e5l\u00e5dalen starts as early as 24 October. Snow saved from last winter is used to prepare the trails, giving you the chance to log some early kilometers and get the season\u2019s first snow under your skis long before the calendar says winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trails are open from 06.00\u201322.00, with plenty of time for both early birds and evening skiers. Dust off your skis, dig out your boots, and get ready\u2014cross-country winter starts early in V\u00e5l\u00e5dalen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SKI AREA OPENING HOURS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first turns on Mt. \u00c5reskutan have already been laid by the enthusiasts and the cross-country premiere in V\u00e5l\u00e5dalen was already in October. But as soon as the ski area operator Skistar can offer a good alpine product, meaning when there\u2019s enough snow, one or more lifts will open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until then, it\u2019s up to you if you want to earn your turns and make the climb to snow-covered higher altitudes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

ABOUT SKATING ON LAKES<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tour-Skating season in \u00c5re is rather short so be on your heels. As the temperature drops, tarns and lakes turn into well-polished hall-floors so get your skates on and go dancing across glass-like ice framed by peaks and forests. \u00c5re is a paradise for tour-skating and there are plenty of tips on where the ice is good and ready to be skated on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also shops for renting the necessary equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
