Snowcat

Is the exchange for cars in the winters, if you're going somewhere, you're going with a snowcat. The larger roads are open but they don't lead you anywhere.
It's when you're using a snowcat you're able to see something. This is quite expensive if you don't own one or know somebody who has one.
But I can tell you, it's worth it!
It's easy, and it's quite safe!

Don't miss to buy sami souvenirs!

Don't miss the big sami market 2003-07-25 -> 2003-07-27

Buy food?
There are quite plenty country shops, but of course there are regular food stores and a low-price shop!
You can't miss it.

If you want to buy fishing rods, snowboards, or anything that's related to sports you should visit Tärnaby Sport.
You can also rent ski's or snowboards.

Famous Moutains and Names

Famous Moutains and Names, Tärnaby

 dave_21 Says:  Can be seen in the area! This is Sytertoppen (1797m) and is a holy mountain for the Sami's.The names on places as mountains, lakes and villages are all on Sami language and it can be really tricky sometime to figure out for the Swedes and foreign tourists what the mean..... 

Chars

Chars, Tärnaby

 dave_21 Says:  Arctic Char is a famous and exotic fish who lives in mountains lakes and brooks. This has been an important fish for the sami's and the local people. It's almost the only fish that you can catch in the winters and they like cold water temps. I hope you not miss this when...

Old Woodsheds

Old Woodsheds, Tärnaby

Wild Reindeer

Wild Reindeer, Tärnaby

 dave_21 Says:  Wild Reindeers are quite rare around here, they exist more for North of Sweden but luckely I saw two on my way home!They are magnificent animals and larger than the ordinary Reindeer. They are also much more reserved. 

The ski slopes

The ski slopes, Tärnaby

 dave_21 Says:  Are open until may. I can really recommend some turns in the slopes where Ingemar Stenmark once trained in.The location of Tärnaby makes it a quite unattracktive area for skiiers around Sweden so be sure that you are alone at least for some hours!Don't miss the off-pist if...

Wildlife

Wildlife, Tärnaby

 dave_21 Says:  The chance of taking a picture of a wild animal is low, but to spot them from a far distance is quite common. The area has Reineer, (Wild Reindeer, Caribou) Lynx, Elk, Wolverine, Bear and Weasel and many more.I was able to see tracks of Wolverine and Lynx at my last visit. 

Snow that melts

Snow that melts, Tärnaby

 dave_21 Says:  But not until may, so if you're going here make sure it is between late June - Late august.If you're planing a hiking trip, be sure to bring rubber boots because the spring flood keeps on going until middle of July.

The small lakes above the treeline are great, Tärnaby

 dave_21 Says:  Yes, the lakes above the treeline is fantastic!No mosquitoes, no other fishermans and an "own" lake for yourself!The only bad thing is the weather, it's often cold and rainy but the lakes are larded by Chars! One day we caught over 100 chars!! (3 persons)
