Åre
One of Sweden's best-known ski resort villages beside Lake Åresjön, popular for skiing in winter and hiking and biking in summer.
For storytellers
Why Åre matters
Åre is the heart of Swedish mountain life. In winter the slopes above the village are among the country's busiest, and après-ski spills into cosy lodges and cafes. In summer the hills turn green and become a playground for hikers, mountain bikers and lake swimmers. The village sits beside a long lake, with views toward a pyramid-shaped peak, and it is a fine base for waterfalls and mountain walks.
Talking points
- It is one of the best-known ski resorts in Sweden.
- Summer brings hiking, mountain biking and festivals.
- The setting beside Lake Åresjön is spectacular at sunset.
