Storuman

Storuman is a meeting point in Lapland. The municipality covers approx 7,500 square kilometres and extends all the way to the Norwegian border. To the west there are the mountain villages of Tärnaby and Hemavan, home of our alpine skiing stars. Storuman has a good range of shops and other services. Adventures in the mountains, forest and on the water are easily accessible from here and there are many fine hiking trails and fishing waters nearby. We look forward to welcoming you.     



 

Enjoy Lapland
Take the bus from Storuman to Hemavan for a mountain hike. The 10 km long Drottningleden trail between Hemavan and Laisaliden is a good option if you’re looking for a well marked trail. All our beautiful trails are suitable for both shorter walks and longer hikes. There are trails close by and some a bit further away. Sit down for a while and enjoy the stillness in the forest, the views over the water and the mountains. Savour the smells and the light. Take as much time as you like to really enjoy it all.
There is an abundance of fishing waters, some very close by. The tourist information office will be happy to provide tips on hiking trails and fishing waters...

Water is life
Storuman with the mountains in the background is best viewed from the ”Utsikten” viewing point, a kilometre or two from the railway station. The armwrestling champion, Heidi Andersson and Olympic gold medallist Björn Ferry were married at Utsikten. The road up to the viewing point is named after Björn as he spent a lot of time there doing uphill training. In the centre of Storuman there is a child-friendly pool with an inviting campsite. Visit the boules pitch by the lake or go bowling in the leisure centre Aktivitetshuset by the square.


In and by the railway station
During the summer months, local artists and craft artisans display and sell their work in the station at Storuman. The old railway hotel – now the library – is on the way to the square and has beautiful wall and ceiling paintings that are definitely worth seeing. Shops, restaurants, a campsite, two hotels and a café are all within walking distance....
