    Hiking

    The Piteälv / Pite River

    One of the four pent-up national rivers in Sweden.

    With a drop of 82 meters, Storforsen is Europe's largest uncontrolled rapids.
    60 m over 2 km difference in altitude.

    The entire area is provided with footbridges, so that you can experience the foaming rapids up close.

    There are over 20 barbecue areas and you can rest and bathe anywhere on the flat rocks.
    A beautiful natural spectacle.

    Apart from the tourist attraction, we did a hike through the forest and were very lucky to see a reindeer for five minutes.
    What more do you want.

    Hiking

    One of the most beautiful and "biggest" rapids in Scandinavia. The power of the river is clear and far away.

    One of Sweden's biggest rapids. The water comes down with a tremendous force. The sight is pretty impressive.
