Find stays in the VM8 area

Choosing accommodation in the VM8 area means staying in one of Åre’s most ski-connected locations, with direct access to lifts, slopes, and year-round mountain activities — while still being within comfortable walking distance of central Åre. The area stretches around the VM8 gondola and the National Arena, which has hosted several World Cup competitions over the years, making it an ideal choice for guests who want quick access to skiing without staying in the busiest part of the village.

Here, you will find a wide selection of modern apartments and mountain accommodations, including View Åre, Åre Fjällby, Nya Lundsgården, and Olympia. Many properties are located right next to the lifts or ski slopes, and several offer views of Lake Åresjön and the surrounding mountains.

Staying near VM8 and the National Arena gives you access to some of Åre’s most convenient lifts. The VM8 gondola quickly connects you to the mountain and the wider ski system, while both VM6 and Bergbanan are also within walking distance depending on where you stay. Here, you are close to wide carving slopes, training areas, and skiing suitable for both families and more experienced skiers.

During the snow-free season, hiking trails, downhill biking, and mountain activities around Åreskutan are right outside your door, making the area attractive all year round.

Several popular restaurants and cafés are located within easy reach of the area. Restaurang Bygget sits close to the slopes and is a well-known meeting spot during the winter season, while Grädda Åre is popular for breakfast, coffee, and freshly baked bread.
