Åre (pronounced ”ore-eh”) is the jewel of the Swedish mountains. As the only Swedish ski resort that can be compared with the mountain villages in the Alps, Åre is extremely popular. With a total piste length of 95 kilometres, around 100 descents, 40 lifts, almost 50 restaurants and more than 30 bars and nightclubs it is arguably Sweden´s number one ski resort. It comes as no surprise that luxury traveller magazine Condé Nast Traveler chose Åre the world´s best ski resort 2008 thanks to its broad range of slopes for all family members and difficulties. Åre and adjacent Duved also offer world-class slopes for snowboarding, telemark and carving. Extreme adventures such as heli-skiing are also available.
The system of lifts is so extensive that you can ski for a long time without tiring of the slopes. In addition to skiing there´s a wide range of other activities, such as snowmobile safaris, dogsleighing, ice fall climbing and much, much more. Åre is equally famous for its extremely vibrant after-ski and nightlife scene – you won´t find many places in Europe that party as hard as Åre during the season...
