Suorva


Suorva or Suorvadammen is a small settlement situated at the southern parts of Akkajaure, in Stora Sjöfallet National Park, Sweden. The settlement can be reached by car. It consists of a few houses and a dam operated by Vattenfall, which regulates the flow to the hydroelectric plant in Vietas located about 5 kilometers downstream, with its underground powerhouse blasted into the mountainside along the river's left bank. The intake to the powerhouse is located at the dam's northern endpoint. The road over the dam is normally open for hikers and makes for a possible route into the northern parts of Sarek National Park which does not require using a boat.
