Skistar Vacation Club Are

The Resort & Its Setting

SkiStar Vacation Club Åre is a timeshare property operated by SkiStar, the Scandinavian company behind several of the region's major mountain resorts. It's located in Åre itself, putting owners close to the lifts and the rest of the town's winter infrastructure rather than in an outlying village. As an RCI-affiliated resort, it fits the standard fixed- or floating-week timeshare model: owners hold a scheduled week at the home resort and can also deposit it into RCI to exchange for stays elsewhere.

Åre and What There Is to Do

Åre is Sweden's largest ski area, with terrain and lift capacity that draw visitors from across Scandinavia and beyond through the winter months. In summer the same slopes turn into Åre Summer Park, with an alpine slide, zip-lining and other outdoor activities, while the broader Jämtland countryside offers hiking and a slower, more rural side of Sweden within easy reach. Östersund, the nearest larger city, is about an hour and a half away by road and works well as a day trip for museums, shopping and restaurants. Because the resort operates on a split winter/summer season, owners aren't limited to ski weeks only — there's a genuine reason to visit, or to make the week attractive to a renter, at other times of year too.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

BidMyTimeshare.com is an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your SkiStar Vacation Club Åre week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get the week in front of buyers, and that's the only cost involved.

Because this is a resale rather than a developer sale, the transfer of ownership runs through SkiStar's own process rather than through us. Specific transfer or resale fees, and any right of first refusal, aren't listed in the SkiStar terms we have on file, so before agreeing on a price with a buyer, confirm directly with SkiStar (or the owners' association handling the Åre property) what the current transfer fee is, whether a right of first refusal applies, and what the annual maintenance fee currently stands at. Ask these questions early — they affect both your asking price and how long the sale takes to close, since transfers typically involve some paperwork and processing time on the operator's side.

Be clear in your listing about what does and doesn't carry over to a resale buyer: the week itself and the RCI affiliation (since the resort is RCI-connected) are the main things being transferred, not any loyalty perks tied to the original purchase. Buyers researching this resort will want to know the week type (fixed or floating), the season it falls in, and whether it's been used for RCI exchanges in the past.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Renters and buyers looking at an Åre week are mostly weighing up ski-season access — December through March is peak demand, so a week in that window is generally the easiest to rent out or sell. Shoulder-season weeks (November or April) can still appeal to snow-focused travellers looking for fewer crowds, and summer weeks suit hikers and families using Åre Summer Park. If your week is eligible for RCI exchange, say so clearly in the listing, since that flexibility is often a deciding factor for buyers who don't plan to visit Åre every year themselves.
