Ritsem

Ritsem, among other things has a hydroelectric plant(320MW,160m) which is located where the lake Sitasjaure falls into Akkajaure by a constructed tunnel(16km made by:"Swedish state powerboard"Vattenfall""). The location also has a camp used by the Sami people, and there is even a mountain cabin and Caravan camp run by the Svenska Turistföreningen.[1] The cabin is mostly used by tourists who are traveling to/from Northern Padjelanta and Northern Sarek and are using the ferry (run by Svenska Turistföreningen) across Akkajaure.

Ritsem is located near the Stora Sjöfallet National Park.

There is a regular bus line between Ritsem and Gällivare during both summer and winter.
