Åre Customer Reviews

Good snow. Plenty of runs & lifts. All well maintained.

Excellent resort, especially when travelling with young children. The Swedes all speak excellent English and are happy to use it. A very welcoming atmosphere. The weather this year was unusually warm but actually piste conditions remained far better than I have experienced in the Alps on bad weeks. The skiing is excellent and the pistes just don't get busy, even on half term week. The village itself has some excellent restaurants and shops, although as with all the best resorts they are not cheap.

Very pretty village and stunning setting on the lake. Great supermarket so self catering is easy and easy work from our accommodation into town. Lovely hot chocolate stops all over the mountains and we found the chips at lunchtime to be particularly good! Expensive but no more so than French ski resorts. Our accommodation was right next door to the best bakery so breakfast pastries were a daily delight.

Swedish people are very friendly and helpful, the Are area is nice with an eclectic mix of restaurants. We had been to Are a few years ago but never as a family, it is a great resort especially for kids. We found the ski school and instructor very good and really saw our kids skills develop over the week. My eldest sons ski lesson finished at 4.30 every afternoon but oddly the last ski bus left Rodkullen at 4.20, as a result we had to ski back, not always a big issue but when your tired after a full day it can be a challenge. I do think this needs to be fed back to the resort as there were a few people who were unhappy.

Åre is a great resort for all skiing abilities with plenty of easy runs good for any learner. The town has some nice local shops & plenty of good eateries.
