Ski Åre, Sweden - Skiing and snowboarding in the Swedish ski resort

Åre ski resort hotel accommodation and map — Sweden

Åre is Sweden’s largest resort, comprising three villages along the shores of the Åresjon lake. Although this means the place is spread out (essentially, it is one long line), it manages to retain the feeling of a centralized resort thanks to a well-thought-out village centre. The three villages each have a different character, with Åre the buzzy, busy centre, Duved a little mellower and Bjornen designed with kids and families in mind.

Åre offers more for families

Top Swedish resort Åre, already a very family-friendly destination, is offering still more for families this winter. SkiStar which owns the ski area has made extensive new investments at the Björnen area including creating new and wider slopes. The interest in skiing at the Björnen area has strongly increased over the last few years. To meet the increasing number of guests, SkiStar has this year prepared new slopes and made existing slopes wider. The blue and red slopes have been built on the west and east sides of Totthummeln.

Chemmy Alcott overcame sickness to grab joint 11th in the giant slalom at the latest leg of the World Cup in Sweden. With just two months before the Vancouver Winter Olympics, it was another respectable showing from Britain’s 27-year-old from Surrey.

The Finn, who won the season opener in Soelden, pulled her back in training in Aspen and did not compete in Lake Louise last week. And although the injury has improved, Poutiainen has decided to more on her conditioning.
