history
At the beginning of August 1718, a campaign by Carl Gustaf Armfelt's Carolinians began from Duved with the aim of taking Trondheim . A total of 10,073 people took part in the campaign. This campaign failed. On the retreat from Tydal to Duved, the army got caught in a snowstorm on New Years 1718/1719, and around 3000 people froze to death between Tydal and Handöl in the fells .
Before 2015, Duved was an independent crime scene with 663 residents last (2010), but then grew together with Åre to the east.
The ski area
Duved and the towns of Tegefjäll , Åre and Björnen to the east form the ski area of Åre, one of the largest in Sweden. The atmosphere in the smaller Duved is generally quieter than in Åre, as there are mostly holiday homes, but fewer hotels.
Alpine
Duved and Tegefjäll together have a total of 11 ski lifts and 27 ski slopes. There is no continuous lift and piste connection to Åre due to the high plateau between Mullfjället and Åreskutan . Ski buses run for this. The Hamrelift is also open in the evening twice a week (2013). The first Duved ski lifts were built in 1962. Tegefjäll was expanded in 1986 and in 1988 the Duved and Tegefjäll ski lift systems were connected.
Cross-country skiing
In Duved there are groomed trails with lengths between 2.5 and 15 kilometers, some of which are also illuminated in the evening. There is also the possibility of going on ski tours on marked hiking trails, for example to Mullfjället or to Ullådalen .
Infrastructure
On the northern edge of the town, the European route 14 runs from Östersund to Trondheim. Duved has a train station with regular train connections to Trondheim, Östersund, Stockholm and southern Sweden. Duved owns a school with lessons from preschool to 9th grade, the catchment area of which extends to Storlien and Skalstugan on the Norwegian border .
Attractions
In Duved there is a wooden church in neo-Gothic style from 1894.
