Why ski Åre?

Åre is the ski resort most people outside Scandinavia don't know about — and they're missing out. Sweden's largest ski area covers 90km of pistes across three interconnected areas, the town is genuinely lively and characterful, and the Scandinavian approach to outdoor life means the facilities are excellent. Snow quality is reliable, the tree-skiing is superb, and the Northern Lights are visible on clear nights.
