Visted Are, Sweden for the first time. The resort was baout 45 minutes from thre airport, connecting flight from London. I stuck mainly to the green and blues and the snow was excellent. Over 60cm and upt o 90cm before I left. Very family friendly and very accessbile. Free ski bus was great. Other than sking I also enjoyr a lovely walk on and around the frozen lake.

Let me start by saying Åre is a great ski resort, I had an excellent time overall, there are some great runs and the experience is a refreshing change from France or Italy. However, if youre used to the larger resorts of the alps you may be disappointed by the variety. Beginners may find themselves confined to a handful of runs that are only serviced by t-bar lifts. The resort also seems to suffer when its windy, forcing the gondolas that service the top to shut. Night skiing is pretty cool.

We had a great time in åre! The lines for the lifts always move fast and the snow is always perfect!There are amazing red and blue slopes for Intermediates. I took private skiing lessons from skistar and the instructors were patient, dedicated, and good at teaching!We stayed at the copper hill hotel which we absolutely loved!
