How to get from Åre Östersund Airport to Åre
Åre Östersund Airport to Åre runs west toward the mountain villages, while Östersund city lies in the other direction. A pre-booked seasonal airport transfer can avoid the city connection. Rail is possible only after reaching an appropriate station and checking the train timetable. Central Åre and Björnen are different lodging areas. Choose the property and final stop before comparing a shared transfer with a private car, especially when the hotel lies uphill from the station.
Central Åre, Björnen and hillside properties need different drop-offs. Give the hotel address and arrange the last ride from Åre station if required.

Åre is a wider destination containing central Åre, Björnen and the separate Duved/Tegefjäll sector. Central Åre gives access to higher mountain skiing and village services, while other bases provide their own accommodation and teaching facilities. A single resort pass does not create a continuous ski link between all villages. Choose the arrival district and use local transport where required.
Which ski area should you choose?
Central Åre
Village-side services and access toward higher terrain.
Björnen
A distinct lodging and teaching base east of the centre.
Duved / Tegefjäll
Separate ski sector west of Åre, reached by road or local transport.
Piste difficulty: The domain covers gentle learning terrain, intermediate cruising and demanding mountain routes. High-area weather can close lifts, and beginners should select a suitable sector rather than treating a summit outing as a default first-day plan.
After the transfer: Central Åre, Björnen and hillside properties need different drop-offs. Give the hotel address and arrange the last ride from Åre station if required.
