COMPLETE TRAVEL GUIDE
How to get from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Åre
Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Åre is a long northbound ski journey that is often better planned around rail than around an all-day drive. Depending on the booked service, passengers board at Arlanda Central or connect through Stockholm Central. Day and overnight trains have different luggage and reservation conditions. Åre station is in the village, but Björnen and Duved are separate final destinations. Compare the train itinerary with a connecting flight to Åre Östersund Airport, including its onward transfer and any extra ski-baggage charges.
Åre station suits the central village. Björnen, Duved and Tegefjäll need another connection or a different rail stop; check the property rather than using a generic Åre drop-off.

Explore the Åre resort guide →
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: Åre station suits the central village. Björnen, Duved and Tegefjäll need another connection or a different rail stop; check the property rather than using a generic Åre drop-off.
