Why mountain hotels, why here
Mountain hotels in Are suit travellers who want to stay close to the landscape rather than just visit it. In practical terms, that means properties with a clear mountain setting, easy access to outdoor activities, and a stay that feels tied to the surrounding slopes, forests and fresh air. In Are, that can range from higher-end lodges to simple guesthouses and camping, so the category covers different budgets and styles without losing the alpine feel.
This is a good destination for skiers, hikers, couples, families and anyone who prefers a quieter base with mountain views and direct access to nature. Copperhill Mountain Lodge represents the more polished end of the scale, while places such as Buustamons Fjällgård, Sundmans Fjällgård and Are Fjallsatra offer a more traditional mountain stay. Pensionat Mullfjället i Åre AB and Ristafallets camping show that the area also works for travellers who want something more straightforward or outdoors-focused. Åre Travel - Lilla Solbringen and Åre Travel - Center add self-catering and central options to the mix.
What makes these hotels genuinely fit the “Mountain hotels” label is not just the name, but the setting and the experience: elevation, scenery, and a location that supports an active stay in the mountains. In Are, that usually means choosing accommodation that is practical for getting out into the landscape, while still offering comfort levels that match your trip. The result is a list that works for short breaks, seasonal sports trips and longer stays alike.
