The park is the southernmost of Sweden's mountain parks, and so closest of these parks to the majority of the country's population. It welcomed 53,000 visitors in 2003 (of which 80% arrived in the summer), which is an increase of about 40% compared to 2001, before the creation of the national park. About a third of these visitors are from outside Sweden, mainly from Germany. The main motivation of these visits is waterfall at Njupeskär, the tallest waterfall in Sweden at 93m, 70m of which are free fall. The damage from a great storm in 1997, still visible not far from the waterfall, is also an important point of interest for the tourists. The park's main entrance, with parking, is situated near these two sites. Near this entrance you can find the park's visitor center, which has exhibits on the nature of the park and is the departure point for guided tours. It is also the starting point of many of the trails of the park, the park having 140km of hiking trails. Among these trails, one can note a part of the Södra Kungsleden (Sälen-Storlien, totaling 350km).
The short hike (between 1 and 3 hours) is the most common activity, but a non-negligible proportion of visitors go on longer hikes (several days), which is particularly true of the German visitors. In winter, skiing is possible, but it is however relatively little popular due to the lack of dedicated trails. Ice climbing is also practiced on Njupeskär. Fishing is also allowed, upon the purchase of a permit.
