FAQs about cycling in Åre Bike Park
Is it difficult to ride downhill?
If you’ve never cycled downhill in Åre before, we highly recommend our guided sessions. You’ll learn the basics, what to keep in mind, how to use the lift, and how to descend safely.
Our introductory course gives you the best possible start to get the most out of your riding. It runs every day and can be booked as an add-on when you rent a bike.
What are your clothes when you ride downhill?
Shorts or tights and a t-shirt are recommended. On colder days, a base layer can be nice to have. Sneakers with as flat a sole as possible work best.
If it rains, rainwear is useful—if you don’t have your own, we have some to lend.
Where do we gather?
We are located on the eastern part of Åre torg (Stationsvägen 16). Here you can pick up your bike and here we also gather for the courses.
How much does it cost to rent a downhill bike?
Trek Session 8 costs from 1,080 SEK per day, while Commencal children’s bikes cost from 480 SEK. The rental includes all necessary protective equipment.
An optional damage waiver costs 90 SEK per day and covers any accidental damage that may occur during use.
Lift passes are purchased separately from SkiStar.
Is it dangerous to cycle downhill?
Downhill cycling is a relatively young sport that has developed significantly over the years. As knowledge has increased, both trails, equipment, and techniques have become much safer. Today, we know more about how trails should be built, which protective gear works best, and how to ride downhill in a safe and controlled way.
We therefore always recommend starting with a guided course together with one of our trained guides. Everyone is a beginner in downhill at first – even those who have been riding cross-country since childhood.
