A route to shape around your client

This Åre ski holiday by train combines four mountain nights with Stockholm at either end. A single ski base makes it easier to match lessons, rental collection and lift access to each client, while the city nights allow more relaxed rail and flight connections.

The outline allows 6 nights, including arrival and departure planning. Keep the sequence, extend a favourite base or change the balance of activity and downtime. This is an illustrative FIT journey for travel agents; accommodation, transport and experiences are selected for the final brief.

A flexible starting point

A resort-skiing concept, not a backcountry itinerary. Match ski area, lessons and accommodation to ability. Daytime trains occupy most of a day; use confirmed schedules and protect the final Stockholm night.

Winter & Arctic

We can tailor this outline, combine it with another route, or design a new programme from scratch.

Hotel examples

Holiday Club Åre

A lakeside hotel connected to Åre station by a footbridge. Its location makes a useful starting point for clients arriving by train with ski luggage.

Hotel Skeppsholmen, Stockholm

Premium example. An island setting within central Stockholm, combining historic buildings with contemporary design for the city nights.

Activity examples

Ski lessons in the appropriate Åre area — select meeting points and slopes around ability, rather than assuming every client uses the same lifts.

A flexible mountain day — choose further skiing or time in the village according to energy and weather.

Day 3

Find the right slopes

Day 4

A full mountain day

Enjoy a full day of resort skiing, with time for warm breaks and lunch between runs. Travellers who prefer to stay off the slopes can follow a separate programme in and around Åre village. Overnight: Åre.

Day 5

Ski or slow down

Return to your favourite slopes or take a quieter day around the village. The final afternoon leaves time to return hired equipment and prepare for the following morning’s journey back to Stockholm. Overnight: Åre.

Day 6

Back to Stockholm

Travel south by train and settle into Stockholm for the evening. Keeping a city night after this longer journey gives you time for dinner and avoids linking the rail transfer directly to an international flight. Overnight: Stockholm.

Day 7

Departure

Leave Stockholm for the airport after the final city night. The stay can be extended for clients who would like to balance their time on the slopes with more of the capital.
