Summit tour

The combination of the lifts VM8 (Å22) and the Gondolen (H23) take you high up the mountain, almost all the way to the summit of Åreskutan. Enjoy the magnificent views from the mountain stations of the lifts and walk a short distance around the area. This hike is suitable for baby buggies because you can take the lift both up and down. However, the surface up by the Gondolen mountain station can be a little bit challenging. 

Stop off for a coffee break or lunch at Base Camp, Sweden's highest restaurant which is an entire 1,274 metres above sea level, or stop off halfway at the VM8 mountain station and visit the Svartberget restaurant and our new Skills area for cyclists of all ages.
