In 2007, Åre in Sweden hosted the Alpine World Championships, a proof as good as any of the quality of skiing around Åre. There is everything from awe-inspiring black pistes and highly challenging off-piste slopes to an abundance of easy skiing for children and beginners. Åre and adjacent Duved also offer world-class slopes for snowboarding, telemark and carving. Extreme adventures such as heli-skiing are also available.

The system of lifts is so extensive that you can ski for a long time without tiring of the slopes. In addition to skiing there´s a wide range of other activities, such as snowmobile safaris, dogsleighing, ice fall climbing and much, much more. Åre is equally famous for its extremely vibrant after-ski and nightlife scene – you won´t find many places in Europe that party as hard as Åre during the season...

In summer, Åre/Duved is transformed into a centre for alpine summer sports such as hiking, mountain biking, climbing, canoeing and river rafting. Åre is also a main hub for fly fishers, with many attractive rivers, rapids and lakes in the proximity.
