Are Resort Snowboarding Holidays

Trip Highlights

A popular resort for riders. The Duved ski area is especially good for beginner snowboarders. There are terrain parks with pipes, jumps and boarder-cross in Tegefjall, Rodkullen and Arebjörnen ski areas, some of which are floodlit in the evenings. To make the most of the area, boarders should be happy taking drag lifts and T bars - there are lots of them.

Are is a unique resort, receiving the worldwide attention it deserves since hosting the 2007 World Championships. The resort stretches 10km along a frozen lake and enjoys a beautiful setting amid low sweeping mountains and snow-covered forests. The resort has four small centres and ski areas each suited to different holiday needs. This is where you can really experience the thrill of winter activities. Imagine yourself gliding along snowy trails in a sled drawn by huskies or racing across a frozen lake on your own snowmobile.

Itinerary

Beginners
For complete beginners we recommend the rolling slopes at Duved and the gentle runs at Arebjörnen for plenty of easy skiing and confidence building. All areas offer excellent ski school tuition with English-speaking instructors who instill confidence and encourage you to find your ski legs in no time at all. Beginners staying in Are village will meet for ski school at the nursery slopes of Rodkullen, a 15 minute ride on the free ski bus. Beginners staying in Tegefjall will begin on the nursery slopes in Duved, a 5 minute bus ride away.

Intermediates
The east and south facing runs at Tegefjall offer long cruising descents, ideal for the intermediate skier and those of Mullfjallet in Duved are an intermediate skiers dream. For more of a challenge head to the Ã…re Centre ski area.

Advanced
There are a number of steep runs including the famous World Cup run. On the lower slopes the steepest pistes are in the Olympia area close to Are village. The resort also offers many challenging opportunities for off-piste skiing (with an official guide). Lessons in advanced techniques, heli-skiing and telemark skiing are available at special ski clinics and can be booked locally. Please note: the Areskutan ski area (the higher lifts) does not open until early February.
