The Hallingsan drops about sixteen metres into the head of a gorge that runs on for something like eight hundred metres, cut deep and narrow into the rock with near-vertical sides and the river hidden at the bottom for much of its length. A suspension bridge crosses above the fall and a trail runs along the rim with viewpoints down into the canyon. It sits on the Vildmarksvagen route in northern Jamtland, which is how most people come across it. Flow is heaviest in early summer after the melt. There is a car park and a shelter, and otherwise nothing - the nearest settlement is some way off.
What you actually see
- A fall of about sixteen metres - into the head of the gorge.
- A canyon some eight hundred metres long - narrow and deep.
- A suspension bridge over the fall - and a rim trail beyond.
- A stop on the Vildmarksvagen - which is how most arrive.
When to go
June to September; early summer for flow. Two hours.
Honest expectations
The gorge floor is not accessible - viewing is from the rim. Paths near the edge are unfenced in places. Beyond the car park there is nothing provided. It is remote.
Nearby
Stekenjokk is north on the loop; Hoting is south-east.
