Good to Know
The Arena
The World Cup competitions take place at the Swedish National Alpine Arena at Årevägen 180. You’ll find the entrance to the east of the grandstand, clearly visible from Årevägen. There is a large grandstand offering views over most of the race slope, as well as a big screen where you can follow each skier live.
Within the arena area, you’ll find the Carlsberg Tent, where food and drinks are available for purchase. There are also plenty of activities taking place throughout the venue: Valle will be on site for the children — and will also be helping to fire up the crowd during the races — and you can visit our exhibitors throughout the weekend. Naturally, the world’s best skiers will be accompanied by a DJ and a live commentator.
Food & beverage
Ski racing works up both an appetite and a thirst — but there’s no need to leave the arena to refuel and keep your energy up throughout the day. The Carlsberg Tent, located within the arena area, offers food and drinks as well as a chance to warm up during the arena’s opening hours.
Bergstugan, well known in Åre for its excellent cuisine, provides the catering in partnership with Carlsberg.
Important information
Ticket control takes place at the entrance. If you haven’t purchased a ticket in advance, you can buy a ticket at the entrance, using a QR-code. It’s not possible to pay by cash at the entrance.
Bags brought into the arena may be subject to inspection. The following items are not permitted: alcohol, flammable liquids, weapons, and pyrotechnics.
Good to Know
Visitors arriving by car will be directed to SkiStar’s designated parking areas located in Åre village. Please note that there will be no allotted public parking spaces in close proximity to the arena.
