How do I get from Östersund airport to Åre?

It is roughly an 80-minute transfer west. Pre-book an airport bus or shuttle, or take the train, which stops right in Åre and Duved. Ride-hailing apps don't really operate here, so arrange transport online before you land.

Can I use the same eSIM in Östersund and beyond?

Yes. This is a single national Sweden plan, so the same eSIM works in Åre, in Östersund and anywhere else in the country, including the train journey down to Stockholm. One allowance covers all of Sweden.

Good to know in Åre

Åre Östersund Airport is 80 minutes from the slopes, and many arrive by night train. The SkiStar app handles lift passes and piste maps, so keep data on — but expect signal to drop on the mountain's far side.

Two simple ways to buy

Åre eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Åre eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Åre — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Åre eSIM: your local data guide.

Whether you are carving down Åreskutan, riding the funicular up from the village or booking a table for après-ski, a ski trip runs on your phone — lift status, SkiStar passes, piste maps and weather. An Åre eSIM keeps all of it live, so you can check conditions and lift status before the first chairlift and share the powder afterwards.

One eSIM for Åre and all of Sweden. It's the national Sweden eSIM — from $2.15/day with unlimited data, working the same in Åre as it does the moment you leave it.

Åre eSIM questions, answered.

Around the village, main lifts and pistes on Åreskutan, coverage is generally good for checking the SkiStar app and lift status. On the mountain's back bowls and out in the backcountry, signal weakens, so download piste maps in advance.
