Happy hike
Hiking with children
Adapt the tour to your ability
Here the mountain is easily accessible. Even if you live in the middle of the village, you can start the hike directly from the apartment and get out on the mountain. Take the children around Totthummeln with a stop at Nalleklippan's barbecue area. Combine a trip with a lift and a hike up the 1,420 meters on the top of Åreskutan and enjoy a yummy waffle.
In Åre there are many marked hiking trails and nice hiking maps. Pack a lunch bag, or why not the trangia kitchen and cook lunch together. Food always tastes best outdoors. Have the children carry some of the lunch bag in a small backpack so they feel involved. A package of barbecue sausage or a chocolate bar can be a valuable treasure to carry to the top.
Make sure you all have reinforcement garments for rain, wind and cold. The weather changes quickly on the mountain. A beanie can be worth its weight in gold even in the middle of summer. Sun protection factor, water and some energy bar must also be included in the backpack to avoid sad faces. Should someone still lose their temper, it is nice to be close to home to the cottage. Find your favorite accommodation in the middle of Åre, or choose a cozy apartment in Björnen, Sadeln or Tegefjäll.
