Åre is the largest resort in Scandinavia, strung along Lake Åresjön beneath the 1,420-metre Åreskutan. The Alpine World Championships have been held here three times - in 1954, 2007 and 2019 - and the speed courses below the summit remain race-grade. The second sector, Åre Björnen, is the opposite, laid out for families with gentle slopes and children's areas. The latitude gives a long season into May but very short December days, with the compensation of northern lights visible from the piste.

What visitors say about the resort

Reviews call Åre Scandinavia's leading resort: ninety kilometres of pistes, World Cup events, and a lively village with bars and restaurants. Visitors praise the long descent from Åreskutan and the variety, from beginner slopes to steep couloirs.

The main complaint is the weather: wind and low cloud regularly close the upper mountain, while in winter there are only a few hours of daylight. Prices are also high by Swedish standards. Visitors also report crowds during Swedish school holidays.
