The world’s best stone-skipping beach! The best place to swim in Torneträsk is at the beach by Silverfallet (Silver Falls). You walk down to Silverfallet according to the hiking description. The beach is full of perfect stones for skipping. It’s almost as if you could believe all the stones were placed here just for that purpose. It’s the movement of the water that has shaped all these flat stones. The depth of the water changes throughout the season due to the meltwater’s progress, but it usually gets deep a few meters out. On some windy days, the waves can be high, and swimming should then be avoided.

A small, stony island in the middle of Rákkasjohka stream that usually appears later in the summer when the water flow has decreased. It’s a good spot to sit and bask in the sun, enjoy the bubbling of the water, take a shallow dip, and perhaps skip a stone. You’ll find it if you follow the path along the stream downstream almost all the way until you reach the railway. 100 meters before you’re about to go up onto the asphalted road, the stream bends, and this is where the island emerges later in the summer. Rákkasjohka starts up on the mountain plateau Rákkasláhku and stretches 7 km down to Lake Torneträsk. Along the way, there are several magnificent waterfalls, including the famous Silverfallet right at the end.
