ÅRE

Åre combines lively village après with quieter mountain meals. Broken offers an easygoing burger-and-bar stop, while Verandan’s music program suits visitors planning a livelier evening. Above the village, Fjällgården offers a slope-side meal; Buustamons in Ullådalen makes room for fika or a longer booked dinner. Copperhill’s Niesti in Björnen brings a contemporary Nordic approach to regional ingredients. Choose the venue around the mood of the evening, and check service and transport before heading away from the village.

Åre’s railway station is in the village, with daytime and overnight options from Stockholm. Compare the full journey for your dates rather than assuming a fixed rail time.

Åre Östersund is the closest airport; Trondheim Værnes in Norway is another gateway with a longer onward road journey. Pre-book a transfer, taxi or rental car and check that it reaches your accommodation. Seasonal services and flight connections vary.

SkiStar Bus links the ski areas, with a valid SkiPass serving as the bus ticket. Check the current route, nearest stop and final return for your stay. For a campervan trip, book a designated overnight place separately from day parking.

Plan around winter and spring skiing, with longer daylight in spring and a festive atmosphere around the winter holidays. The village, Björnen and Duved/Tegefjäll have different operating windows; late-season access can be limited to selected upper lifts. Use the operator’s area-specific calendar for your dates.

Summer brings mountain sightseeing and biking, with seasonal lift and trail schedules. A longer stay can combine mountain days with village meals, cafés and time to unwind.

Choose the part of Åre that matches your stay. In the village, Hotel Åregården provides a historic hotel base close to dining and slopes. Tott sits above Åre village, with hotel rooms and apartments, lake and mountain views and a restaurant in the building.

Copperhill Mountain Lodge is on Förberget in Björnen. Its pools, spa and dining suit time at the hotel, and ski-in/ski-out access depends on the Björnen ski area being open. For self-catering near the village slopes, Tottbacken offers apartments beside Tottliften with kitchens, fireplaces and private saunas.

STF Södergården is a hostel option in Undersåker, east of Åre, with shared kitchens and a sauna. Plan the onward ski journey separately and review its food, fragrance and pet rules before booking. Compare the property’s exact location and room format as carefully as the broad Åre destination name.
