ABOUT STORUMAN
Water, wild animal and nature just around the corner
There is so much to see and even more to discover beyond the town centre, whether you’re on foot, cycling or in a car. The town is named after Lake Storuman and was founded at the meeting point of two railway lines. The original settlement was called Luspen, the Sami word for lake delta.

Today it is not only the railway which meets in Storuman, people and roads do too. A gateway to the mountain region and the key to the heart of Lapland, it is a town beautifully located amid deep forests and fantastic mountainous terrain.
The fishing is excellent, with over 2,400 lakes and the Umeälven river providing endless opportunities for outdoor pursuits. Some of which are within 500m of the railway station – great news for Inlandsbanan (the Inland Railway) travellers.
