General presentation
Dalarna and Lake Siljan
Red houses, artisanal traditions, historic mine and hills around Siljan embody the Swedish interior.
The discovery of Dalarna and Siljan Lake is centred around Falun Mine, Carl Larsson-gården and Siljan Lake. The stay thus alternates between the shores and the lakes, the forests, the countryside and the heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
