Tännforsen waterfall

Tännforsen is a beautiful and impressive waterfall located in Åre municipality in Jämtland. It is the highest waterfall in Sweden and has a drop height of 37 metres, a vertical drop height of 26 metres and is 60 metres wide.

Tännforsen is also one of Jämtland's most visited tourist destinations and one of the few waterfalls that has not been exploited by the modern hunger for power. But it hasn't been without its struggles, and it was eventually saved by local residents who refused to allow a waterworks to be built at the waterfall.

Today, Tännforsen and the surrounding nature area are a nature reserve and part of the Natura 2000 area.

The waterfall is part of the Indals River and connects the lakes Tännsjön and Östra Noren. Most of the water flows through during autumn and the end of May. In winter, not so much water flows through but is instead covered by a beautiful ice cap.
