A good choice for those who enjoy winter sports beyond skiing and 'boarding, Åre is northern Europe's mecca for all snow and ice sports. Dog sledding is so well organised that you can even have a 15 minute try out if you don't want to book for a full day. Reindeer sleigh rides or snowmobiling are just as popular and you can try ice climbing, ice fishing, horse riding or paragliding too.
Tobogganing is particularly popular, with a mile long run down from the top of the Bergbanan funicular. Open daily for 90 years the run was enjoyed by Swedish Prince Wilhelm back in 1910 shortly after the funicular opened.
Excursions to the frozen waterfalls at Tõnnforsen and to the Njarka Lapp Camp are both popular. In the latter case you can feed reindeer and get a cup of coffee in a Lapp tipi.
