Trollforsen Suspension Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
A visit to the impressive Trollforsen Rapids begins with a unique adventure: This seemingly fragile suspension bridge stretches just above the raging waters. Not for the faint of heart.

Trollforsen Rapids
Highlight (Segment) • River
Over a stretch of nearly one kilometer, the water of the still largely unregulated Piteälven River plunges 40 meters into the depths. This creates one of the largest rapids in Europe. A truly impressive natural spectacle!

Svarthalet Cabin and Sami Hut
Highlight • Mountain Hut
These reconstructed huts give an impression of the past, when the Sami lived here in the traditional way and later the rafters took their rest.

Trollholmen
Highlight (Segment) • Natural
The two arms of the Piteälven River, which here form the Trollforsen rapids, create this rocky and pristine island. It can be circumnavigated on the circular hiking trail, offering fantastic views of the whitewater along the way.
