<strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Dalarna</strong> brings together most of the best of <strong>Dalarna</strong> and Sweden. Modern city life<br />

meets rich culture and fantastic nature experiences that will be remembered for a long time.<br />

<strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Dalarna</strong> offers rivers, lakes, forests,<br />

mountains and valleys, in other words, there<br />

are lots of opportunities for everything from<br />

canoeing and fishing adventures to cycling<br />

excursions and hiking. In the winter, the area<br />

is transformed into an eldorado for skiers and<br />

ice skaters with popular, high-class facilities for<br />

cross-country and downhill skiing, and many<br />

kilometres of ploughed skating tracks. After a<br />

day of nature experiences and exciting activities,<br />

you’re close to city comforts, restaurants<br />

and shopping.<br />

<strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Dalarna</strong> has a long history of<br />

farming, forestry and mining, and today the<br />

industries are characterised by high technology.<br />

A visit to some of the interesting museums and<br />

historic settings may provide the explanation<br />

for the success of many of the entrepreneurs<br />

through creative solutions. The Mining Area of<br />

the Great Copper Mountain in Falun has been<br />

designated by UNESCO as one of the world’s<br />

most important places and has a long, exciting<br />

history and activities for all the family.<br />

Our cultural life is rich and varied. Colourful<br />

handicraft traditions and genuine Dala music<br />

meet cool music festivals for all tastes and<br />

ages.<br />

One of Sweden’s best-known and loved artists,<br />

Carl Larsson, lived and worked in <strong>Dalarna</strong><br />

at the end of the 19th century. Today, his<br />

home in Sundborn is one of our most visited<br />

attractions.<br />

In our towns and genuine Dala villages, the<br />

characteristic wooden houses take their red<br />

colour from the traditional Swedish red paint,<br />

Falu Rödfärg. In the past when people used to<br />

make their living from what they produced on<br />

their farms, they moved their grazing animals<br />

to summer farms to save the grazing at home<br />

on the farm. Today, most of these summer<br />

farms do not have animals, though a few are<br />

still run as summer farms with cows and goats.<br />

Don’t miss a visit to one of these gems! Several<br />

of the summer farms are now connected by<br />

footpaths and cycleways.<br />

Falun The town is<br />

characterised by the historic<br />

settings around the world<br />

heritage site of the Mining<br />

Area of the Great Copper<br />

Mountain in Falun. In the<br />

winter, Lake Runn between<br />

Falun and Borlänge is also<br />

transformed into a paradise<br />

for long-distance skaters<br />

from around the world.<br />

Borlänge Here you’ll<br />

find <strong>Dalarna</strong>’s biggest range<br />

of shops and restaurants. In<br />

the summer, Sweden’s biggest<br />

music festival Peace &<br />

Love is arranged in Borlänge,<br />

and in the winter the ski<br />

resort of Romme Alpin offers<br />

skiing for all the family.<br />

Gagnef Here you’ll find<br />

unique cultural surroundings<br />

with summer farms and<br />

works settings connected by<br />

footpaths. The mighty rapids<br />

of Västerdalälven River<br />

are an eldorado for fishing<br />

and white water kayaking.<br />

Österdalälven River flows<br />

much more slowly. The two<br />

rivers meet in Djurås to form<br />

Dalälven River.<br />

Ludvika In Ludvika,<br />

Säfsen Resort is a year-round<br />

facility with MTB trails, footpaths,<br />

a ski resort and good<br />

fishing. Garden enthusiasts<br />

should not miss a visit to<br />

Disponentparken Park, and<br />

there’s exciting cultural history<br />

at Grangärde Finnmark<br />

where, among other things,<br />

the poet Dan Andersson<br />

was born.<br />

Smedjebacken<br />

Smedjebacken offers unique<br />

nature with the nature<br />

reserve Malingsbo-Kloten –<br />

a wilderness paradise. Hike,<br />

cycle, paddle, fish or join a<br />

moose or beaver safari. The<br />

tradition of smithery is alive<br />

and well here and you can<br />

be a smith for a day in the<br />

big forge.<br />

Säter Nice old wooden<br />

town – one of the best preserved<br />

in Sweden. Säterdalen<br />

with footpaths, playgrounds<br />

and a mini summer farm is<br />

also located here. The surrounding<br />

farmland is dotted<br />

with charming farm shops<br />

selling locally produced food<br />

like crispbread that has been<br />

baked by hand in wood-fired<br />

ovens.
