Ristafallet Waterfall

The Ristafallet waterfall on Åreälven is not far from the European route E 14. A forested island divides the fall - which is almost completely frozen in winter - into a northern and a southern section. The entire fall is fifty meters wide, fourteen meters high. Depending on the season, the flow is 100 to 400 cubic meters of water per second. The moist environment of the waterfall has created a special nature with special lichens, grasses and animals, which has been given protection status by the Swedish state.

In the film adaptation of Astrid Lindgren's "Ronja the Robber's Daughter" filmed here, the Ristafallet is called Glupafallet.

If you want to come here by car there is a parking space at the campsite. There you have to pay a fee.
