Are kommun

Åre kommun combines high-mountain terrain with a long-established railway corridor in a way that reflects its position within the Scandinavian Mountains of western Jämtland. The municipality extends from the Norwegian border across broad uplands, birch woods and lake country, with the Indalsälven water system leading east toward the Gulf of Bothnia. Åreskutan, rising above Åre, is the area’s defining summit and anchors one of Sweden’s leading winter-sports centres. The railway helped turn Åre into a resort in the early 20th century, and the town has since hosted FIS Alpine World Ski Championships. Sami culture is also part of Jämtland’s living heritage.
