From Eve

Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Åre Bikepark.

Rent a full-suspension bike with full-face helmet and armor; standard bikes risk damage on rough descents.
Book BikePass online for discounts; pick up at SkiStar automats to skip lines.
Start on green/blue trails like Lilla Blå or Double Dave to acclimate before tackling blacks.
Check weather via SkiStar app; wind or rain may close lifts, limiting access.
Use Bikelys lockers for secure bike storage between runs.

Thrilling Trails Across Åreskutan

Nestled on the slopes of Åreskutan in Sweden's Jämtland region, Åre Bike Park boasts Scandinavia's most extensive downhill network. Over 40 meticulously groomed trails stretch 50 kilometers, plunging 853 vertical meters from lofty peaks to the valley base. Riders navigate a diverse lineup: seven green trails ease newcomers into the flow, eleven blue paths build confidence with flowing berms, eleven reds challenge with technical sections, and ten blacks deliver heart-pounding drops, jumps, and high-speed velodromes.Iconic routes like Easy Rider, recently renovated, wind through pine-scented forests and open meadows, offering velodromes and tabletops that test precision and airtime. WingMan tempts with its legendary jump lines, while Double Dave provides a punchy blue-grade blast. Machine-shaped berms and northshore features amplify the adrenaline, all set against a backdrop of jagged peaks and shimmering lakes.

Summer Season Spectacle

The park pulses with life from early June through late September, aligning with Åre's extended daylight hours. Lifts operate daily through August, extending Thursday to Sunday into autumn, culminating around September 28. On Midsummer's Day, the summer solstice, extended hours from 10 AM to 9 PM allow non-stop riding under the midnight sun, blending endless daylight with mountain euphoria.Trails evolve with seasonal grooming: early summer opens select blues and greens on Stjärnliften, expanding to full access by late June via multiple lifts including VM8:an and the scenic Kabinbanan cable car. Post-season, trails remain rideable at rider's risk without maintenance, but lift-served action defines the core experience.

Essential Gear and Safety

Downhill demands specialized equipment: full-suspension bikes with robust shocks handle the rugged terrain, paired with full-face helmets and body armor to mitigate impacts. Rentals at nearby SkiStar shops provide fully cushioned rigs complete with protection packages, ensuring safe progression from novice to expert.Local regulations restrict riding to opened trails during lift hours, with emergency support available via dedicated lines. Protective gear isn't optional—it's essential for navigating rooty sections, rocky outcrops, and high-speed corners where a momentary lapse can lead to serious falls.

Alpine Immersion and Variety

Beyond pure descent, the park integrates with Åre's outdoor tapestry. Adjacent XC trails in Björnen offer flowy alternatives for endurance riders, while nearby climbing parks and hikes expand adventures. The setting—flanked by a serene lake and encircled by dramatic fjäll mountains—infuses every run with natural grandeur, from wildflower-strewn paths in July to golden autumn foliage in September.This fusion of engineered precision and raw wilderness creates an unmatched riding realm, where the rush of gravity meets Sweden's pristine high country.
