The Åreälven River in the Swedish province of Jämtland is the main source of the Indalsälven .
It has its origin in the mountain lake Skalsvattnet , which lies on the Swedish-Norwegian border. From there it flows in an easterly direction. It flows through several smaller lakes, including the Tännsjön and Östra Noren . The 37 m high Tännfors waterfall lies between these two lakes . As far as Duved , Länsväg 322 runs largely along the course of the Åreälven. The river will then be accompanied by European route 14 to its confluence with Lake Liten at Järpen .
On his way he passes the villages Björnänge and Undersåker, which belong to the municipality of Åre . Shortly before its mouth, the Åreälven overcomes the Ristafall waterfall .
