The 826 meter high Totthummeln is - along with Åreskutan and Mullfjället - one of the three peaks of Åredalen. Not many people climb the summit in winter, but in summer it is a popular hiking and excursion destination. The Totthummeln is the fastest accessible and most weather-protected of the three peaks. If you cover the entire route from the valley on foot, you have almost five kilometers of hiking distance and around 420 meters of altitude ahead of you. The tour lasts about an hour and a half, but you should allow more time as you may want to stop more often and enjoy the view or even take a detour to Teddy Rock.

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

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.

A dense forest of bearded trees grows around the waterfall. The ground is covered with moss. It's easy to imagine ugly trolls and beautiful fairies among the trees. The area around Tännforsen is unusual due to the uniform and high humidity that the fog from the rapids creates. The area is therefore home to rare and very special plants and animals.

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.
