When to visit Jämtland Härjedalen?
- Winter: Peak season for snow sports, whether you're into alpine skiing or après ski, this is the place to be. Åre hosts the Alpine World Cup and Östersund the Biathlon World Championships.
- Spring: Locals call it the fifth season – 'vårvinter' – when warm sun meets lingering snow. Ideal for Nordic skiing, snowshoe walks or soaking up the rays with a fika in a snow sofa.
- Summer: Endless daylight brings flea markets, festivals and fresh local produce. Don’t miss the strawberries, slowly ripened under the northern sun and bursting with flavour.
- Autumn: The mountains ignite in colour. Crisp air and mosquito-free hikes make it a top time for trail adventures and cycling. Åre’s lift-served downhill biking season ends in October.
