    My favourite ski resort in Sweden. I’ve been to Åre a few times, both early in the season (December) and late in the season (March) as a skier of different levels: from barely being able to do parallel turns to being comfortable on most slopes. I’ve enjoyed all the trips here. The accommodation: I’ve only stayed in apartments in Åre. They sometimes come with a sauna and clothes dryer which is pretty nice to have. The slopes: The Åre area is not super beginner friendly but you can find some easy slopes. Duved and Björnen are more beginner friendly. The slopes are well prepared, except once late season in Duved one slope was getting a bit bare. The food: not cheap, reasonable quality overall but not at the same level as resorts like Les 3 Vallées in the French alps. The service: high quality service. The rental staff are knowledgeable and helpful. In our most recent trip, we had a good experience with the ski patrol. We took a piste that’s not lit after sunset, which turned out to be a bad idea. They spotted us, didn’t blame us, told the operator of the snow groomer near us that two skiers were coming their way, which I assume was for safety reasons, and wished us a good day. The cons: the days are short in December but there are lights on some slopes and there’s also night skiing.

    I really, really, REALLY want to give Åre 5 out of 5, but I can't. The staff were super friendly, it's a good vibe in the resort, slopes and park are well built/groomed and the opportunities are vast. Out of two days skiing our first day were great, even though the conditions nor weather were something to write home about. The second day however, it was bluebird day with some wind. Many of the lifts were closed, which is understandable, but information about this were nowhere to be found. This resulted in missed trips and reoccurring monster waiting times in line. Each lift line could easily take 20-30 minutes or more, people was entering the line from left and right, and the lifts had frequent stops. As an example, when one of the T-hook lifts stopped they had to send a snowmobile from the bottom of the lift all the way up to reattach the safety wire. It shouldn't be too much to expect that when half of the lifts are closed, they'd put crew elsewhere to ensure a continuous operation of the lifts that actually were running. It was a huge let-down to buy a skiing pass for a full day, only to get 5-6 runs and hours of waiting time. I get that the weather wasn't the best, but I missed seeing the staff thriving to ensure a good experience spite the wind.

    Parasta alamäkihiihtoa pohjoismaissa. Rinteitä ja offareita. Paljon liikkeitä ja riittävästi ravintoloita. Useita suksivuokraamojakin. Björnen, Huippu, Tegefjäll ja Duved. Melkoinen parkki. Best downhillskiing in Scandinavia. Lots of slopes, shops, restaurants...

    Swedes call Åre “Swedish Alps”, it’s not quite Alps but we really enjoyed skiing here. Even though it’s completely different experience from Alps.

    I picked up snowboarding as a hobby a few years ago in the "not so impressive" slopes we have in the Balkans (Mavrovo & Kolasin). My brother had told me Åre was a great place, and now I know what people mean when they say the Scandinavians are big on winter sports. Absolutely loved every moment I spent here. There are plenty of slopes, in fact you'll have to visit several times if you plan on checking all of them out 😅 Plenty of other activities to do in Åre as well. There are a wide variety of pubs and restaurants and housing options are fully equipped with all you need. I highly recommend planning your next Winter holidays in Åre.

    Great fun! We really enjoyed ourselves here. Åre is better for intermediate+ skiers. Tricky to get to the greens if you are a total beginner, plus some of the final parts of the blue runs turn to reds. The summit is spectacular. The main lift needs 10 mins effort to reach from the village - this could be better connected by an escalator. Avoid the weekends to avoid the queues. Overall I can highly recommend! 🤟⛷️🏂

    Hyvät rinteet, mutta osa siirtymistä vaatii lykkimistä eikä sovi laudoille.

    Nice place when the weather permits. Relatively small/short slopes, but pretty good for the region. Too windy often so it is likely that you don’t experience all that this available (chair lifts close). When that happens then you need to take the bus between the different areas. I have been coming here since 2017 (weekend trips 2-3 times a season) and the top (Högzon) is more often closed then open. Bad luck. Nice restaurants and stores.
