Storumans Municipality is a large municipality in South Lapland. Approximately 6,000 people live here, just over half of them in the urban areas of Storuman/Stensele and Tärnaby/Hemavan. For those who enjoy living actively and close to nature, there is a fantastic range of activities, summer and winter. Imagine gliding through a well-groomed ski trail in magical winter light, a mirror-smooth mountain lake on a summer evening when the sun never sets, a wetland in a forest clearing that shines like gold with ripe cloudberries, or a freshly brewed cup of coffee in a sunny spot in April. All of this and more are experiences available in our immediate surroundings. Our municipality is not just a place to live, but a place where you can live a wonderful life.
