The possibility to spend time together on an active holiday attracts many guests to the Swedish and Norwegian mountains also in the summer. The wide and varied offerings of activities such as lift-assisted hiking and biking, exciting events and challenging competitions for all levels provide for fun for everyone.
This coming weekend, 24-25 August, for the fifth consecutive year Åre will be hosting one of the events in the international bicycling competition Avalanche Cup. More than one hundred adrenalin pumped riders are taking on the downhill mass marathon in this extraordinary race.
Åre is a modern ski resort with a long history and, with its international atmosphere, Scandinavia’s alpine capital. The train stops in the centre of town and there are two international airports just an hour away. Ski terrain stretch from children-friendly Björnen in the east, through the challenging high zone in central Åre, to carving enthusiasts’ paradise Duved in the west.
July 2 is the start of the second edition of Åre Bike Festival. For the following nine days Åre fills up with bicycle enthusiasts from around the world and all the activities breath of bicycling. The schedule includes downhill races, extended opening hours in the lift system and clinics with some of the bike world's biggest stars. As well as a big photo contest.
In Åre , we celebrate the 6th of June by inviting everyone to test what the summer in the mountains has to offer. There is a possibility to try out a lot of activities for half the cost, for example hill-carting, zorbing, zipline, rafting and biking. Try different brands of bikes at the rental offices and get the lift pass for free when you run a test pass downhill.
