It is known for its successful skiers, particularly in the "technical" disciplines: Slalom and Giant Slalom: Ingemar Stenmark, Anja Pärson, Bengt Fjällberg, Stig Strand and Jens Byggmark. In winter Tärnaby is transformed into one of northern Sweden's ski resorts. By summer the Laponian lakes and mountains provide opportunities for activities such as fishing, canoeing, hiking and mountain biking.

18 km further north in the Parish of Tärnaby is the village Hemavan, a ski resort, with an airport and start point of the Kungsleden trail.
