The history of Åre Fjällsätra
In the early 1930's, Fjällsätra was a timber lodge.
The lodge was later sold for SEK 12,000 to two ladies who converted it into a guest house. The guests usually arrived here by train and were called "air guests" and "flower walkers".
A European from the Alps named Seefried, bought the guest house just before World War II. Seefried loved Viennese waltz and had the grand piano room (now entrance) as a dance hall. He was the one who painted the ornaments in the restaurant and salon. His daughter Anna has been visiting ever since and handed over the old cash books that show the price level of that time.
Seefreid was married to the Mannerheim family, which explains why many Finnish children stayed at Fjällsätra during the war.
After the war, the facility was sold to a foundation within the Swedish Social Insurance Agency and then operated as a convalescent home until 1993 when the foundation went bankrupt.
In 1997, Solweig and Urban Widholm bought the hotel, and on their own and with small funds, they equipped the guest house to become a cozy and personal hotel with a shower and toilet in each room.
MY & WILLE
We who own and run Åre Fjällsätra are My Ernevi & Wille Lindberg. Before we came here to Undersåker, in the summer of 2018, we ran a Fjord lodge in the great Hardanger fjord in Norway. After about two great years there, we started looking for something equally personal, but something bigger - in Sweden. We found Åre Fjällsätra!
We look forward to welcoming you here to our mountain idyll - all year round.
