Dorotea kommun

Forested uplands, countless lakes and the Marsfjället mountains define much of Dorotea kommun, supporting forestry, reindeer husbandry and a way of life shaped by long winters in southern Swedish Lapland. The municipality is in Västerbotten County near the Norwegian border, where roads cross broad tracts of taiga rather than densely settled countryside. Dorotea is the local administrative centre, while Borgafjäll adds a more alpine character in the west, with ski terrain and access to mountain routes. The area forms part of Sápmi, the cultural homeland of the Sámi people, and reindeer herding remains a living tradition. Dorotea was named in 1799 for Crown Princess Desideria.
