Åre Björnen
The family- and children-oriented ski area on the eastern side of the Åre ski resort, with a children's snow playground and gentle beginner slopes.
Björnen (meaning "the bear") is about 5 km southeast of Åre village and forms the eastern wing of the Åre ski area. It has gentler slopes and many forest trails, along with a dedicated children's ski school and snow playground, making it well suited to families with kids. Nearby are holiday accommodations such as the Copperhill Mountain Lodge, and gondolas and buses connect it to the main ski area. Lift passes are valid here as well. The famous Åre Chocolate Factory is also in this area.
