Töfsingdalen National Park, National park in Älvdalen Municipality, Sweden.
Töfsingdalen National Park is a conservation area in Älvdalen covering dense pine forests, boulder fields, and small mountain lakes. The terrain features natural woodland with rocky formations that shape the hiking experience throughout the park.
Töfsingdalen was designated a national park in 1930, one of nine parks Sweden established that year. It lies in Älvdalen Municipality in Dalarna County, north of the ski resort of Idre, and covers 1,617 hectares. The park protects two boulder-strewn ridges rising to 892 metres.
The area maintains connections to traditional Sámi reindeer herding practices that shaped the landscape over many generations. Visitors can observe how these pastoral traditions have influenced the region's character.
The park is accessible through marked hiking trails of varying difficulty, with information points nearby explaining seasonal activities and accommodation options. Visitors should prepare for changeable weather and bring sturdy hiking gear.
The park's two ridges, covered with countless boulders, rise to 892 metres, and the interior has no marked trails, so even reaching the park is difficult. The name means "The Töfsing Valley".
