Snowbike School in Åre (eng)

Snowbike School in Åre (eng)

If you can ride a bike you can go Snowbiking. Whether you like biking or skiing most, you will have a great time on the slope with us on our Snowbikes here in Åre. During our Snowbike school we prepare you to rent your own Snowbike, and after the school you can go in the ski system and ski lift with your Snowbike. A skipass for Åre ski area is needed.

 

 

Who is Snowbiking for?

Snowbike are the perfect tool for lots of people who like to explore the slopes of Åre in an new way.

The “left out” family member – Perhaps you are the one who are waiting in the lodge or in the apartment while the rest of the famliy  shreds the mountain. Now you can join and in and share the fun with them, instead of waiting at home.

The vacationing skier – You have already bought your “one week skipass” here in Åre and like to spend everyday of your trip on the mountain. After a few days of hard skiing your legs are tired. Well… Ski sitting down for a day is a great break to rest your legs and have fun at the same time. Don´t risk injury pushing yourself on tired legs, so rent a Snowbike instead for one day and have fun!

People with bad leg joints – If your knees don´t work like they used to you can still go on the slopes with a snowbike and spend the day with your friends and family. Riding a snowbike puts much less strain on knee-, ankle- and hip joints than skiing or snowboarding.

First timers – If you’ve never gone skiing or snowboarding before the snowbike is a perfect “first step” to enter the slope. After about 60 min you have picked up how to ride the snowbike. If you like you can add these skills to the skiis or snowboard later – or just keep riding the snowbike for the rest of your holiday!

Skiers or snowboarders who want to try something new – We promise you will have fun and experienced “snow sliders” will learn how to snowbike in just a few minutes!

Like to “show off” – If you’re not a good skier but like to impress your friends with doing something new and cool for the first day on the slope, snowbike is the thing for you. You will be the “King or Queen of the slope”!

The snowbikers – Yes, there are hundreds of people who not are skiing or snowboarding while they are in Åre. Some of them have found there sport and they are Snowbikers!

Åre Gastronomy Walk (Winter eng)

Åre Gastronomy Walk (Winter eng)

Join us on a gastronomic snowshoetrip through stunning winter landscapes and in a climate where the tastes and smells will be experienced in a new and unique way. During our walk, we stop at three different places where we at each break have a theme, and it is offered various local delicacies such as locally produced soup, locally produced bread, locally produced cheese and locally produced “glögg” (spiced red wine) and chocolate. The delicacies that are offered during the walk varies somewhat during the season, but what they all got in common is that our guides always tell an interesting story about both the products as well as local producers who makes them.

Our tour starts and ends at Copperhill Mountainlodge and is approximately 1.5 km long.

Moose Safari in Åre (eng)

Moose Safari in Åre (eng)

Join us for an exciting evening in the Swedish wilderness where we go searching for the wild moose in its natural environment. We pick you up with our minivan at your hotel and take you for an adventure in the stunning surroundings of Åre. We will drive along some roads with spectacular views over the landscape and also on small dirt roads with special places where we often see the moose (on these small dirt roads we often come very close to this big animals).

Along the tour our guide will tell you facts about the moose, at some places we stop the minivan take a short walk with binoculars in our hands to search and cover areas that can´t be reached from the bus. Of course we have a lovely “Swedish fika” (coffee and snacks) at some nice place along and for those who dare, also taste moose-meat…

From the minivan we can mostly keep a respectful distance to the animals (they often keep on eating as usual when the engine keeps going, so after a while we leave them without disturbing them) but if we will have good chance at the right spot, we will try to get out of the minivan and sneak up to the animals a little closer to have a better chance for great photos.
