Hotels near Östersund Airport
Frösön
About 3-4 km from the airport, 5-10 minutes by car or taxi; the Flygbussarna doesn't stop on Frösön, so without your own car a taxi is needed even for the short stretch.
Best for: Dawn departures and one-night layovers, when a few fewer minutes by car from the airport matter more than life in the centre.
- Closer to the airport than the city itself, handy for those flying early in the morning
- A hilly, quiet area, far from the runway noise despite the proximity
- No direct connection with the Flygbussarna: a taxi is needed even for the short hop to the airport
- For dinner or an evening in the centre you still need 10-15 minutes by car across the bridge
