Paddle Canoe, Kayak and SUP – Tips about where

Enjoy Åre village from a distance and look up towards Åreskutan. With a bit of luck, you may see several paragliders soaring above on their way down toward Draklanda.

This is a perfect spot to take a break, go ashore, and enjoy the surroundings for a while.

Paddle across Lake Åre and enjoy the view of Åre village and Åreskutan. Take a break along the way and experience the mountains from the water.

Continue further up into the Indalsälven River. Here you will notice that you are paddling against the current. After a while, you will reach Tegeforsen rapids. Take a break downstream from the rapids, where there is an opportunity to swim from the shore or take a walk upstream along the riverbank. It’s a perfect spot for swimming or sunbathing on the rocky outcrops.

Paddle across to the other side of the lake and step ashore on your very own beach – a place locally known as “Jämtland’s Hawaii.”

It’s a perfect destination for a cozy sunset trip or for lunch and swimming with the whole family.

There is also the possibility to light a fire on the beach. Sometimes driftwood can be found along the shore that is suitable for burning, but remember to bring your own firewood to be sure.

Bring a SUP to Lake Kallsjön and experience paddling with stunning views of mountains and open water. Kall is about 25 minutes from Åre Strand and offers calm paddling with great opportunities for swimming and a picnic along the way.

A good starting point is the area around Kallbygden and the beaches along the lake, where it is easy to carry your board down to the water.

Bring your SUP to Ånnsjön and paddle through vast mountain landscapes and open water. Ånn is located about 20 minutes from Åre beach and is a popular place for outdoor activities all year round.

A great place to start is the area at Klocka gård/Enaforsholm where there is good access to the water and the opportunity to paddle both on Enan and out on Ånnsjön.

Paddle SUP directly from Åre beach and Åre marina with views of Åre village and Åreskutan. From here you can quickly reach Lake Åre for a leisurely paddle along the shore or further out into the open water.

Perfect for an evening trip at sunset, a refreshing swim or a moment on the lake in the heart of Åre.
