Overview

Slope Life The guide was updated: 2023-12-11

Åre offers, without doubt, one of the best skiing experiences in the Nordic countries with a vertical drop of 890 meters, 40 lifts and around 100 pistes.

There are several different types of lift passes in the area. Children under 8 years ski for free provided that they wear a helmet. All 40 lifts are included in the Åre ski lift pass, from Duved in the west to Åre Björnen in the east.

The first lifts open as early as possible in November, and after that the system opens up gradually depending on the amount of snow. The season is expected to last until May 1st.

For those who don’t have much experience, there is of course a ski school in Åre. Skiers will find several rental shops for ski equipment.

Åre Village

Åre Village

Åre village offers world-class skiing with a wide range of pistes, modern lift system and varied terrain. The après-ski in the village's many bars easily rivals the nightlife in many Swedish cities.

Åre Björnen

Åre Björnen

Åre Björnen is a child-friendly ski area with a focus on beginner and children's slopes where kids can independently explore the lift system. If you're looking for more challenging slopes, you can quickly access the lift system of Åre village, which is just around the corner.

Duved

Duved

Those who prefer a slower pace and fewer people on the slopes, but still want to enjoy world-class skiing, should head to Duved. Many ski instructors and professionals choose to ski here in their free time, as they enjoy the variety, the natural surroundings, and the vertical drop.

Tegefjäll

Tegefjäll

Like Åre Björnen, Tegefjäll is also family-friendly, but with a greater emphasis on older children and teenagers. The Duved ski area is easily accessible from here, as its lift system is interconnected with Tegefjäll’s.
