Åre is Scandinavia's biggest and most popular ski resort, hosting World Cup races.
Åre's mountain (Åreskutan, 1,420m) has a distinctive rounded shape that creates gentle open bowls above the treeline and steep chutes on the north face — the Toppstugan at the summit reaches the exposed side where the annual Åre Extreme Challenge freeride competition is held each spring.
Hiring or renting ski equipment in Åre is the smart choice for most visitors. Luggage costs for ski gear can exceed the price of a week-long rental, and local shops offer ski rental perfectly tuned for Åre's terrain — all levels level, 90 km of pistes at up to 1420m.
Through GetSki you can rent any combination of equipment in Åre — from individual items to complete packages. Each service is delivered by verified local shops with on-mountain pickup and free swaps during your stay.
Snowboards for all riding styles available — freeride, freestyle, and all-mountain shapes tuned for Åre's all levels-level terrain. Bindings adjusted to your boots on pickup; free swap if conditions change mid-stay.
Properly fitted ski boots are the single biggest factor in comfort on 90 km of pistes. Local shops carry the latest models from Salomon, Atomic, Lange, and Tecnica — fitted by qualified bootfitters who know the terrain. If they don't feel right after the first day, swap them at no extra cost.
Certified helmets (CE EN 1077) from €5/day. Modern shells with MIPS rotational impact protection are available at most shops in Åre. Helmets are mandatory for under-18s in many resorts and strongly recommended for everyone — better to rent than fly with one.
Waterproof shells and insulated jackets sized for layering. Åre's typical december – april conditions can swing from −15 °C blue-sky days to wet sleet at lower altitudes — rental options cover both.
Skis + boots + poles bundled, the most cost-effective option for full-week stays. Typical pricing in Åre: SEK280–SEK520/day with package discounts of 15–25 % compared to renting items separately. Package level matched to your skill — beginner, sport, or performance.
Properly sized children's skis, boots, and helmets — adjusted to weight not just height for safer release-binding behaviour. Kids' ski sets are typically 30–50 % cheaper than adult equivalents in Åre; many shops offer free helmets when renting a full kids' package.
Forgiving skis (shorter than your height, softer flex) with comfortable beginner boots — built to make first turns easier on Åre's nursery slopes. Some shops bundle ski-school discount vouchers with their beginner packages, worth checking at booking.
Lightweight aluminium and carbon poles available individually if you're bringing your own skis and boots. Sized to your height by the shop on pickup.
UV-protected lenses for high-altitude bluebird days, plus high-contrast lenses for flat light and snow conditions — both worth having for Åre's top altitude of 1420 m.
Åre has a strong Scandinavian cross-country tradition — a 10 km track runs right through the village centre, meeting at the Åre Chocolate Factory for fika (the Swedish coffee break) at the Broken Dreams Café.
Typical daily ski rental in Åre costs SEK280–SEK520. Booking a full week package usually saves 15–25% compared to daily rates.
The VM8 gondola was built for the 2019 FIS World Championships and runs directly from the village centre to the summit in 7 minutes — use it to skip the queue at the Olympia express chair on Saturday mornings.
