On the slopes

There are 98 runs when you ski Åre so you rarely have to take on the same slope more than once. But, most of these slopes are for beginners and intermediate skiers. With only five expert slopes if you are looking for challenges you may have to head over to the three parks for more skilled skiing.

However, the wide variety of slopes and parks as well as the half pipe are a large draw to many snowboarders making Åre an excellent location for those who want to fine tune their snowboarding game. Plus, since there's nighttime skiing and plenty of slopes you could potentially spend your entire holiday skiing or boarding.

Off the slopes

For those who want to spend some time off the slopes there are however, plenty of other options. All three villages that make up the Åre ski resort are friendly but each has their own individual personality creating plenty of activities for every type of holiday trip.

The Bjornen village for example is very family friendly while Åre is the centre of activity with the Duved Village inspiring relaxation. Between the three villages there are plenty of bars, restaurants, shops, and nightclubs to keep holiday goers busy while they are not on the slopes. In particular, the Bygget bar is a great place to have an excellent time mixing with the locals, especially on a Tuesday night. However make sure to bring your ID because the area is very stringent about drinking age laws.
