How to get from Åre Östersund Airport to Vemdalen
Åre Östersund Airport to Vemdalen goes south into Härjedalen rather than west toward Åre. Swedavia lists a seasonal pre-booked transfer to Vemdalen, but the destination contains three distinct ski areas. Vemdalsskalet, Björnrike and Klövsjö/Storhogna do not share one universal stop. Specify the sector and property before comparing the shared transfer with a private vehicle. A booking to Vemdalen village can leave an additional uphill journey to the slopes.
Choose Vemdalsskalet, Björnrike, Klövsjö or Storhogna and provide the property address. The village name alone does not identify the correct ski base.
