Traveller notes on Åre in October
Other months in Åre
Åre's forum rates March-April as the best stretch of the Swedish ski season — not as bitterly cold as January-February, with noticeably longer daylight, sun not setting until after 8pm by late March. Regulars flag mid-February through mid-March as the busiest weeks locally thanks to winter sport holidays, so March itself can still be crowded even as the weather improves — plenty of snow remains for skiing throughout.
