Åre Sessions

Åre's big end-of-season weekend with Åre Sessions - a festival where music and ski culture meet in a nice mix. The festival takes place on several stages around the village and on the ski slopes. Some of this year's artists are Viagra Boys, Thomas Stenström, Icona Pop, Ellen Krauss, Loam, Timbuktu and Fricky & The Desktoppers.

Just as important as the music is the festival's activity program, which offers visitors activities such as yoga, hiking, downhill cycling and ski school.

And best of all: on Åre Sessions, your SkiPass acts as your festival ticket.

In addition to the festival and wonderful spring skiing, we offer you comfortable hotel beds, a beneficial spa and a gastronomic restaurant at the top of Förberget.

Skistar's ski bus runs down from Björnens center throughout the weekend. For transportation at other times we refer to taxi. 

* Please note that Skistar will close the Björnen ski area on April 14, 2024, after which it will not be possible to use the lift system to and from our hotel. We therefore offer Ski in/Ski out until April 14. After April 14, you can go with the hotel's ski bus to the center of Björnen where you can connect to Skistar's ski buses that go to Åre, whose ski system is open until May 1.
