Dead Falls (Döda Fallet) near Storforsen

Highlight • Waterfall

The way away from Storforsen is worthwhile. The river was straightened and here are still small remnants of the river in beautiful formations looking for the way to the valley.

Storforsen Rapids

Highlight • Waterfall

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.

Comments

August 6, 2024,Wanderung den Piteälven entlang, mit Storforsen Wasserfall und Deadfall

The Deadfall, an old branch of the Storforsen, is spectacular for swimming. It is a little off the beaten track and is not specifically signposted. Above it is full of sunbathing rocks and many barbecue areas.
