The South Åre Mountains

The South Åre Mountains – Where Adventure Meets Tranquility All Year Round

Welcome to a destination where the mountain wilderness feels both vast and accessible. In Södra Årefjällen, you will find the perfect balance between action-packed skiing in the family-friendly slopes of Edsåsdalen and Trillevallen, and the early season premiere on the legendary cross-country trails of Vålådalen.

Here, you can hike through a living cultural landscape where trails lead you to historic mountain pastures, crystal-clear tarns, and dramatic peaks. Discover the unique Pyramids, geological wonders shaped by the forces of the Ice Age, or dive deeper into the mountain’s nature and the local Sámi culture at Naturum Vålådalen.

As the home of the prestigious Fjällmaraton (The Mountain Marathon), Södra Årefjällen has become a premier destination for runners and life-enthusiasts alike. After the day’s adventures, our cozy mountain hotels await with crackling fireplaces and gastronomy inspired by the local flavors of the fells.
