DESCRIPTION

Åre is a great place - when the weather is good! Skysport paragliding school is situated next to the landingfield. BBQ area and shop. Always speak to the locals - they are both friendly and informative! In May 2008 two local pilots (Fredrik Lindholm and Pal Hammar) flew 240 km from this site.

weather

Åre is a mountain and must be dealt with carefully. Lenticularis in the sky is a bad sign. The landing might be difficult in NW winds as the landing itself acts as a thermal trigger (because of the location by the lake).

access
