Åre

Åre is a unique resort, receiving the worldwide attention it deserves since hosting the 2007 World Championships. The resort stretches 10km along a frozen lake and enjoys a beautiful setting amid low sweeping mountains and snow-covered forests. The resort has four small centres and ski areas each suited to different holiday needs. This is where you can really experience the thrill of winter activities. Imagine yourself gliding along snowy trails in a sled drawn by huskies or racing across a frozen lake on your own snowmobile.

During your ski holiday in Åre, Sweden,evenings can be pure relaxation in one of the spa centres, à la carte dining or sophisticated cocktails in one of Åre’s many bars and restaurants. For those with the energy, live bands and DJs in several bars and clubs mean you can enjoy ‘after-ski’ the Swedish way. 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.

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. 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. 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.

Situated at the opposite end of the ski area to Årebjörnen, Duved is a quiet centre offering uncrowded slopes. It is lift connected to Tegefjall ski area and served by a free ski bus which connects Åre and Årebjörnen ski areas (15-20 min ride to Åre village).

The small village has a supermarket and a couple of bars and restaurants.

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.


Please note: Ski & board school can only be pre-booked through Neilson up until 2 weeks before departure. We recommend pre-booking to guarantee availability.
