The heart of Åre is a small, attractive square surrounded by a good choice of stylish and quirky shops, over a dozen restaurants offering a range of dining options and a good choice of bars to suit every taste - whether it’s cocktails or lively bands. During your ski holiday in Åre, Sweden, evenings can be pure relaxation
in one of the spa centres, à la carte dining or sipping sophisticated
cocktails in one of Åre’s many bars and restaurants. There are around 50 restaurants in the centre of Åre - so choosing which one to eat in could be difficult!
Åre’s nickname is ‘little Stockholm’ and it’s most apt in and around the village centre where the atmosphere is relaxed and stylish with a funky edge. For those with the energy, live bands and DJs in several bars and clubs mean you can enjoy ‘after-ski’ the Swedish way. At weekends, the energy changes and Åre rocks with many bars offering lively ‘after-ski’. It’s lots of fun and would be enjoyed by couples and groups.
The skiing directly above Åre village is ideally suited to intermediate
and advanced skiers and riders but beginners are well catered for in
the Rodkullen area, a 15 minute free ski bus ride away. The ski school provides excellent tuition on the nursery slopes.
There is also a terrain park and several kilometres of floodlit cross
country trails close to the centre.
A resort that's perfect for all abilities, interests and group types,
people are beginning to discover just how much is on offer here. Not
just the warm, genuine hospitality, high quality accommodation and
snow-sure skiing, but a wealth of winter experiences waiting to be
tried out during your ski holiday.
