Easy to walk to the slopes
You can easily walk directly from the hotel to the nearest ski lift. Go via the footbridge over to Stationshuset and then up the hill to the square and go up with the classic Bergbanan. When you go back down to the hotel, you can ski all the way to Åre Torg and then walk the same way back.
Ski bus
If you have smaller children with you or want to save energy for the ski day, it's easy to take the ski bus. It runs on the other side of the railway from the Holiday Club. Feel free to download Skistar's app to your mobile and check the timetable. You get the fastest start if you get off the bus at VM8. It is also a tip for families with children going to Rödkullen, as there is an easier transport hill from the VM8's mountain station down to Rödkullen's family area.
Car sharing services
If you want to take the rest of the family to the slopes or take a short sightseeing trip by car, you can rent a car by the hour from E-go and Aimo Share. Perhaps a visit to Tännforsen or Åre Chokladfabrik?
