Wellness initiative checks in at the heart of Åre


In the very heart of Åre lies Lake Lodge, a family-owned apartment hotel with a passion for both service and health. Now, they’re partnering with Gympak to make it easier for guests to take care of themselves – year-round, regardless of weather or season.

World-class skiing, hiking trails winding across mountain peaks, and summer cycling that attracts enthusiasts from all over Europe, Åre is far more than just a winter ski resort. At Lake Lodge, guests stay right in the middle of it all.

“We want to give our guests more than just a bed to sleep in. We want to help them feel good, even when they’re on the move,” says Lars Hedström, third-generation entrepreneur and owner of Lake Lodge. “With Gympak, our guests have a concrete way to keep up their routines, whether they’re here for a ski weekend in March or a hiking week in July.”

Fitness in a bag and a box
Lake Lodge now offers Gympak’s popular wellness bags, a workout bag with sustainable activewear, as well as equipment boxes, containing everything from yoga mats to resistance bands. Everything is designed to make working out in your hotel room or outdoors feel easy, stylish, and accessible.

“We’re thrilled about the partnership with Lake Lodge. This is a hotel that understands wellness doesn’t take a break just because you’re away from home,” says Jone Sølvik, CEO of Gympak. “Åre is also one of Scandinavia’s most dynamic destinations, with year-round activity, an ideal setting for Gympak.”

Åre, all year round
Many know Åre for having Scandinavia’s best skiing. But when the snow melts, the area transforms into a vibrant summer village. Here you’ll find some of Sweden’s most renowned downhill biking trails, breathtaking hiking routes, kayaking, paragliding, and paddleboarding. Quieter activities also draw visitors: tour the Åre chocolate factory, enjoy a mountain spa, or take the cable car up to the top of Åreskutan and have coffee with a view over the valley.

Lake Lodge is in the center of it all, within walking distance to lifts, restaurants, shops, and mountain nature.
