Åre Ski Area is a ski resort spread across two mountains with 112 trails and roughly 101 kilometers of slopes for different skill levels. The terrain covers nearly 4.4 square kilometers and is served by 42 lifts that provide daily access to varied runs.
The railway line that reached Åre in 1882 marked the beginning of winter tourism in the region and enabled the establishment of the resort in 1909. This early transport connection became the foundation for growth into a major winter sports destination.

The ski season runs from November to April, with most slopes open daily from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, and selected runs available for night skiing. Visitors should prepare for changing weather conditions and pack accordingly for variable mountain conditions.
The resort sits at roughly 63 degrees north latitude, where visitors can see the northern lights while skiing during winter months. This rare combination of skiing and viewing polar auroras creates an unusual experience that few other resorts offer.
