About Åre Skidsport
Åre Skidsport is one of the most established ski and snowboard shops in Åre, Sweden's premier alpine destination. Founded in 1987, the shop has served nearly four decades of winter visitors from its prime location on Årevägen, right where the slopes meet the town square. With a team of around 15 dedicated staff, each of whom has personally tested the equipment they rent out, Åre Skidsport combines deep local knowledge with hands-on expertise.
The shop offers a comprehensive rental fleet covering alpine skis, snowboards, ski touring setups, and telemark gear across two tiers: Standard packages for beginners and casual skiers, and Premium packages for intermediate and advanced riders seeking high-performance equipment. Beyond rentals, they carry avalanche safety gear including transceivers, shovels, probes, and airbag backpacks, making them a one-stop outfitter for backcountry enthusiasts. A professional boot-fitting service and full workshop for edge sharpening, base repairs, and equipment tuning round out the winter offering.
What sets Åre Skidsport apart is its longevity and local roots in the Åre ski community. Online pre-booking earns a ten percent discount, and equipment pickup starts the afternoon before your ski day so you can hit the slopes first thing in the morning. In summer the shop pivots to cycling gear and rentals, making it a year-round resource for outdoor adventurers visiting the Åre region.
