Fröå Mine
Fröå gruva
The ruins of a 17th-century copper mine on the southern slopes of the Åre mountain. Old miners' village and mine shafts are hidden among the trees, and guided tours are offered in summer.
The Fröå copper mine is located on a hillside about 8 km east of Åre village. Copper was mined here from the 17th to the early 20th century, leaving behind mine shafts, slag heaps, smelting houses, and workers' cabins. Today it is an open-air cultural heritage site. In summer, there are guided tours and a small café. Visitors can wander the site along forest paths, or start a hike up the mountain from here.
