The Åsele Municipality covers a scenic area of 4235 km², which has over fifty nature reserves and a national park. The area serves as reindeer grazing land for two Sami villages during winter. What attracts visitors to Åsele, besides nature and outdoor activities, is the historic Åsele Market, one of Sweden's largest summer markets.

Åsele Municipality (Sjeltien tjïelte in Southern Sámi) is a Sámi administrative area, and knowledge of Sámi is an asset in certain professions.
