Kabinbanan Åre
Kabinbanan
A large gondola that climbs about 1,270 meters straight up from Åre Square. In seven minutes you can fly from the village to the top of the mountain.
Kabinbanan was built in 1976. Its lower station is right next to Åre Square. Each cabin holds about 80 people, and the upper station sits at about 1,274 meters. From there you can hike about 1.5 kilometers to the summit of Åreskutan. Near the upper station, Hoga Kaffestuga is one of the highest cafés in Sweden, with views of the mountains and Åresjön lake. A summer round-trip ticket costs about 300 kronor. The gondola stops in high winds, so check the live status on the SkiStar website before you set out.
