<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.

ACTIVITIES<br />
There’s lots to see and do in<br />
southern <strong>Dalarna</strong>. Below is a<br />
selection of what <strong>Dalarna</strong> offers.<br />
