Åre Ski Resort

Åre is Scandinavia’s skiing capital, offering world-class skiing and rich Alpine tradition. If you’re looking for a new resort to explore, Åre in Sweden is the place to visit. The mountains here are gentler and more rounded than those in other Alpine destinations, creating a unique skiing landscape. The northern location brings long sunlit days and magical twilight skiing. This combined with amazing snow conditions, makes for a truly memorable and one-of-a-kind skiing experience.

Åre is known for its range of slopes which cater for all skill levels – pistes vary from easy greens and playful children’s areas through to breezy blues and reds for carving to some black slopes for an adrenaline kick. It also has three terrain parks and a half-pipe, making it a hotspot for freestyle skiing and snowboarding. One thing that sets Åre apart from other ski resorts is its expansive off-piste terrain. Wide, open and gentle, the off-piste areas are easy to explore without extensive off-piste experience.

The village itself is charming, with restaurants, shops and a vibrant après-ski scene. Known as “Little Stockholm”, Åre has some of Sweden’s best après bars and more than 60 restaurants.
