Subject to availability. Please contact us to do so.
Yes you can, please contact us for that.
No, you cannot. Please read our booking conditions carefully and what applies with/without Student Insurance.
Accommodation in the package is unspecified. This means that you don't know where you will be staying until about 4 weeks before arrival. We work to ensure that everyone is accommodated as well as possible, close to their group, taking into account preferences, etc.
SkiStar will contact the booking manager around 4 weeks before arrival. You will then be told how many apartments you will have and how many beds each apartment has.
You'll also be given a name document to fill in how you allocate your accommodation and send back to us so that you can get all the check-in and check-out details.
Extra beds in the form of sofa beds may count as one bed in the accommodation allocation.
No, you will only be allowed to stay with those you have booked with, even if there is an uneven number etc.
This depends entirely on the flats you are allocated, the most common is to have 4-6 places in each flat. Under no circumstances should the maximum number of people stated in the accommodation description be exceeded.
You will have to organise the distribution between the flats you are allocated, we only require one person responsible for each unit.
Report this immediately upon discovery to SkiStar's on-site customer support on 010 810 96 45.
When you check in, we ask you to go through the apartment and check that everything looks OK. If damage or similar is discovered after check-out that was not known beforehand, you will be liable for compensation.
You, as the booking manager, should spread this to all participants, as it is you (or the association you represent) who is the legal customer.
It varies and since you book unspecified accommodation, you do not know until closer to arrival what accommodation you will get. So sauna can not be guaranteed and is not so common in Åre village unfortunately.
These can be found in the booking conditions, which are available online and sent to all bookers. It is important that all participants know what the rules are regarding night-time behaviour etc.
We strongly recommend that you leave the Bluetooth speaker at home, they are ‘too good’.
The music, and especially the bass, will be heard well between apartments regardless of where you live and is likely to result in disturbing the neighbours, which may lead to a visit from a security guard and a charge.
No, you won't. If someone calls in and reports a disturbance, no warning will be issued, but you may receive an administrative fine immediately. This also applies if the security guards discover that the rules of behaviour are being broken during their patrols in our areas. Read more about this in the booking conditions.
We strongly recommend that you leave the Bluetooth speaker at home, they are ‘too good’.
The music and especially the bass is well heard between the apartments no matter where you live and is likely to result in disturbing the neighbours, which can lead to a guard visit and a fee.
In Åre we all live together, residents and guests, and we must show each other consideration.
No, you can not.
With the SkiWeek voucher, you get a 20% discount on both ski hire and ski school/ski experiences at SkiStar. The discount code will be sent to you in an email immediately after your booking has been confirmed.
You enter it first in the checkout screen when you choose your equipment online. That is, in the ‘checkout’ just before you make the payment.
You will receive the same discount on site on presentation of your SkiWeek wristband. We strongly recommend that you pre-book your equipment to reduce queues on site so that you too can get out on the slopes faster.
We can help you book accommodation in self-catering apartments for bus drivers. We usually place them in a suitable location and always try to organise early check-in so that they can rest as quickly as possible.
Many bus companies require single rooms and/or breakfast to be available where their staff are staying, and as we at SkiStar do not run any hotels in Åre, the price is usually slightly better if you book a hotel room directly with the hotel itself and not through us.
We refer all buses to the car park at the Cross Country Centre in Duved where there is plenty of space, is free and that buses belonging to SkiWeek Åre can stay here overnight during the event period.
