At the “Näckens udde”, the “tip of the neck”, you can view the mighty waterfall from below. At the end of May/beginning of June, when the Tännforsen has the most water, an amount of liquid shoots over the edge that would fill the huge Globen Arena in Stockholm within a quarter of an hour.

Tännforsen is the most powerful waterfall in Sweden. It is located 22 kilometers northwest of Åre on the upper reaches of the Åreälven. Here the river forms several lakes. Lake Tännsjön flows over Tännfors into Lake Östra Noren, 37 meters lower. The waterfall was formed on the steep edge of an overhanging rocky plateau formed by the folding of the Scandinavian mountain range approximately 500 million years ago. A special climate develops near a large waterfall like Tännforsen. The mist caused by the waterfall supports interesting and unusual lichen species on the slates and trees.
