Trail cycling in Årefjällen

A beloved activity goes by many names: trail cycling, cross-country (XC), MTB, or mountain biking. In Åre, they all refer to essentially the same thing.

Unlike lift-served downhill biking, cross-country mountain biking involves pedaling both uphill and downhill, without using lifts. There are plenty of great trails to explore in and around Åre, from machine-built trails at XC Center Björnen to natural mountain biking trails higher up on the mountain. We offer guided tours lasting 3 or 5 hours and rent out hardtail, full-suspension, and electric mountain bikes.

FAQs about XC mountain biking in Åre

Is cross-country MTB in Åre difficult?

No, our guides are good at adapting the path and pace according to the conditions and previous knowledge. Sometimes we say it’s kind of like riding up and down a curb every 5 feet. With the right bike it’s really fun!

Do you need to be fit to ride MTB?

It doesn’t matter what shape you’re in – we adapt the tours so everyone has a great experience. We might add a bit more downhill or take a coffee break along the way. We also offer electric mountain bikes, perfect for groups with mixed fitness levels.

Are these special bikes?

We offer some of the best bikes on the market from Trek. Our bikes are perfectly suited to the terrain in Åre.
The suspension can be adjusted in three modes: one for downhill riding on trails, one for climbing, and one for more mixed or gravel-like terrain where efficient pedalling is key.
Please note that our XC mountain bikes are not permitted for lift-served downhill riding.

What kind of clothes do you have?

Shorts and t-shirt. If it’s a colder day, it might be nice to have a underwear shirt. Sneakers with as flat sole as possible. If it rains, you can rent a jacket from us.

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. We are open 9.30-17.30 every day.

Which bike should I choose?

Hardtail bikes have front suspension and are less cushioned than full-suspension models, but they come at a lower rental price.
We also rent Trek’s popular e-mountain bikes – an excellent choice for longer rides and mountain adventures.
