With more than 1,000 acres of terrain, Åre (pronounced aura) is a world-class resort. Children under seven ski for free and the tree-lined slopes are uncrowded, even during peak weeks.

Åre’s main ski area has lots of variety, while Björnen’s runs are best for beginners. For intermediates, the rolling slopes in Duved are excellent, and there’s some great off-piste to be found - hiring a guide will mean you find the best spots!

The historic lakeside town offers everything from zip wires and a chocolate factory to a distillery and live bands at the weekends. And Åre’s fifty-odd restaurants are reliably good, from the burgers at Broken to fine dining at Supper.

Ski holidays in Åre are truly unique. A temperature inversion can make the mountain warmer than the village, and the slopes are floodlit until 8 pm. This far north, short December days are followed by long daylight hours in spring - an effect that’s even more apparent on our Åre and Arctic Ski Safari.

"If you've skied a lot and think you've done it all then check out Åre. I love the delicious cuisine, the designer styling, and the fact that the Swedes adore the Brits. It's even close enough for a long weekend."

Accommodation in Åre

Ranging from traditional guesthouses and self-catering apartments to luxurious design hotels, much of Åre’s accommodation is ski-in ski-out. English is spoken widely throughout the resort. We’ve stayed at or visited all of our Åre accommodation options, so call us for advice and we’ll recommend the best ones for you.

An excellent, well resourced winter holiday destination. Staying in Are village with beautiful views of the lake and easy access to the slopes and the many nearby shops and restaurants was a winter pleasure.
