We were offered our own ride later in the afternoon and were given lunch and the opportunity to test the high-altitude cable car during the wait, at no extra cost. A fair solution, we thought!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The facility was located in a wooded area by the river and the feeling of adventure set in even before we got near a rapid.

Soon it was time to put the briefing into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vatten_vagor_och_en_rejal_adrenalinkick\"><\/span>Water, waves and a real adrenaline rush<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The waves felt huge as we entered the rapids. The water was crashing around us and we paddled for all we were worth. I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever paddled so hard before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, it was quite a challenge. I&#039;m not the bravest when it comes to this kind of adventure, and my heart was beating fast. The others, above all, thought it was really fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But we made it. We didn&#039;t capsize, and when the water calmed down I was able to start to relax and actually enjoy the feeling of having made it through the rapids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a calmer section we also had the opportunity to go for a swim. What a contrast to the rushing water we had just paddled through! Afterwards I was both relieved and happy that I had come along. It was an experience that stuck in our bodies and that we still remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Forsr\u00e4nning-Vindel\u00e4lven-1-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Forsr\u00e4nning Vindel\u00e4lven\" class=\"wp-image-47130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Forsr\u00e4nning-Vindel\u00e4lven-1-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Forsr\u00e4nning-Vindel\u00e4lven-1-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Forsr\u00e4nning-Vindel\u00e4lven-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Forsr\u00e4nning-Vindel\u00e4lven-1-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Forsr\u00e4nning-Vindel\u00e4lven-1-1200x673.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Forsr\u00e4nning-Vindel\u00e4lven-1.jpg 1203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Billie and Helena.

The range includes different arrangements, so choose a trip that suits the age and conditions of the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The popular Trollforsturen starts from the facility in Ekorrsele and goes through \u00d6vre and Nedre Trollforsen. The entire activity takes about three hours, including changing and transport. The age limit is 12 years when accompanied by an adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also a family tour that starts at Glassbonden in Selet, with an age limit of nine years when accompanied by an adult. The starting location and structure therefore differ between the tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organizer provides equipment for the rafting trip and gives a safety briefing. When booking, check what you need to bring and what requirements apply to the tour you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the facility in Ekorrsele it is also possible to book accommodation, food, sauna and hot tub.
