About Dalarna
Dalarna is often associated with some of Sweden's most recognisable traditions, from decorated Dala horses to midsummer celebrations. Around Lake Siljan, towns and villages such as Mora, Rättvik and Leksand combine cultural heritage with forests, lakes and outdoor activities. Falun's historic copper-mining area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Summer suits lake trips, cycling and cultural events, while winter brings cross-country skiing and access to alpine resorts farther north. Dalarna covers a large area, so choose a base according to whether you want Siljan, Falun or the mountain landscapes near the Norwegian border.
