General presentation
Åre and Jämtland
Mountain resort, large waterfall and regional heritage open a vast ski, hiking and cycling terrain.
Åre, Tännforsen and Jamtli give the most telling landmarks of Åre and Jämtland. Together, they form a destination where mountain reliefs, forests, shores and lakes and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
