Kabinbanan

Top choice


Bringing you almost to the top of Mt Åreskutan, this gondola is worth taking for the awesome views alone. The seven-minute ride departs from behind Åre’s main square and whisks you up to a viewing platform (1274m) complete with Åre’s most expensive cafe. Hike up to the peak from there.
