Sorsele Municipality, Municipal territory in Västerbotten County, northern Sweden

Located within Swedish Lapland, Sorsele Municipality extends across 8,012 square kilometers, making it the eleventh largest municipality in the country.

The municipality has maintained its extensive territorial boundaries since 1863, when the Swedish municipal system was first implemented in the region.

The municipality's name originates from Sami language 'sourge' meaning branch, combined with Swedish 'sel' referring to a stream type.

The Vindel River flows through the municipality, where Mercedes-Benz conducts winter driving events on specialized snow and ice courses.

Half of the municipal territory encompasses the Vindelfjällens Nature Reserve, with temperatures ranging from -40.6°C in winter to 30.5°C in summer.
