In 1906 there was a proposal to build a mountain railway (Swedish: Bergbanan) from Åre to the summit of Åreskutan. The planned route went from Åre Torg, the central square in the town, via Östra Platån and Mörvikshummeln to the summit. However, the route was only realized as far as Östra Platån (near Hotell Fjällgården) and was built from 1908 and opened on March 7, 1910. Of all the lifts, only the Åre Bergbana starts from the historic town center.
