Tips
Arctura, the large water reservoir near the ski stadium, was built in 2003 by the energy company Jämtkraft to serve as a water buffer for the new combined heat and power plant in Lugnvik. The tank is 65 meters high, 27 meters in diameter and holds 26 million liters of water. It is covered on the outside with a hanging net that 7,600 small lights illuminate differently at different times of the day. On the top floor, 55 meters high, there is a restaurant with wonderful views. However, it is only open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day. The name of the reservoir tower refers to Jämtland's landscape star Arcturus, but locals simply call the reservoir "the thermos flask."
