With 100 pistes served by 44 lifts, Åre is Sweden's most popular resort and the biggest ski area in the Nordic countries, with everything from very easy beginner runs to very challenging expert slopes. Miles of cross-country tracks and a dedicated snowboard park are but a few of the other great offerings here.

Tannforsen

Reviewed By Phayao13 - Stockholm

Sweden's largest waterfall, albeit modest when compared to Waterfalls in Norway. Close to the waterfall you will find a tourist station that offers both food and coffee.The high humidity makes it possible to find different types of plants that are different for the landscape.Even beautiful to see when the woods change color and the water is cooled down to finally become snow and ice.

A few years ago we took part to free sledge ride in the Åre centre and it was fun.
This time the road they let us drive is the same but we needed to pay 10 SEK for parking, (skipass for the ride upwards) and then 2x 70 SEK for driving down with ”the sledge”. We had seen a picture where people drive with Stiga, we were a bit dissappointed to get gliders. My 11-year old son got a yellow rectangle shape glider but it did not glide straight. We changed in the end, my glider had been ok. I tried to explain to the man underhill that this glider spoiled all our fun and we paid a lot of money for this stupid sledge drive. He didn’t speak English. We’ll never go there again.

This really was a great lifetime experience, something I've always wanted to do and it exceeded expectations. Gustav was our guide and he made us feel very relaxed and comfortable. He was very friendly, flexible and spoke perfect English. Although this was our first time...MoreThanks Mark. We really appreciate your review. We will send over your nice words to our guide. Welcome back next time for a longer tour. Best regards / Jesper

Good skiing, but there was no one around to help when one of our party was injured we had to sort it out ourselves. Would have been awful if more serious. Not sure if this is how it is all the time?

Reviewed By Volker_12 - Hannover, Germany

A great area to walk, quite easy to reach thanks to road up to the Storulvan mountain lodge. A fantastic 3-course dinner with a wine selection in Blahammeren makes you feel you are staying in a 5-star-lodge, but you aren't. Avoid Fridays and Saturdays in Sylarna, as it gets VERY full, some 200 matresses are available and in use.

Camp Are

Ares largest activities company! We do snowmobile trips, husky tours and have a Ziplinepark! The Ziplinepark is decided into two courses, the Green is for families and the Black takes you on a high-speed tour above the lovely nature of Are, sometimes as high as 60 meter above the ground!

Reviewed By Becks S

We provisionally booked onto a snowshoe trip, pending numbers to make up the group.
We made the booking in the shop and we're very pleased to meet Alexander who would be taking the group out
Unfortunately Camp Åre never contacted us to let us know that the trip would not be happening. 15 minutes before shop close the day before the trip, nobody answered the phone so my boyfriend had to run into town to find out in person.
Disappointing service Camp Åre.

Duveds Kyrka

Reviewed By nigueu - Lysekil, Sweden

Visit Duved Church a few days ago and I really liked it! - For me itś more as a Cathedral, because it 's so big and itś visible in a way as no other building is in the surroundings.
Inside it s so clean and make it more spiritual then more decorated can be, I really feel relaxed inside a church like this.

Reviewed By Mikael F

En av få kvarvarande sport och frilufts butiker i trakten. Jag gynnar gärna butiker som dessa som inte tillhör Skistar. Trevlig personal som har tid för just dig. Kan både skidåkning och friluftsliv. Jag som gillar fiske besöker gärna butik även på sommaren för aktuella tips på bra vatten och inköp av.lokala flugmönster.
