Overnight stay in Stockholm.After breakfast at the hotel, you will head for Mora and the Dalarna region. When leaving Stockholm we recommend a detour to Sigtuna, a lively little town founded by Viking King Eric the Victorious. Sigtuna is the oldest, still existing town of Sweden. Continue via Enköping, Avesta, and Borlänge to Mora, beautifully located by Lake Siljan in the Dalarna region. Lake Siljan and the surrounding landscape were created 360 million years ago when a meteor fell from the sky and onto Dalarna.
Overnight stay in Mora.This day is at your own leisure to explore the many attractions Dalarna has to offer. We recommend spending the day in Mora where you can go for a walk along Lake Siljan, or maybe you would prefer to go for a swim. A visit to the Zorn Museum is also recommendable. Anders Zorn is famous amongst other things for his nude paintings, portraits and aquarelle paintings. The museum displays his works, in addition to parts of his private art collection. We also recommend a visit to Zorngården, the former residence of the couple Anders and Emma Zorn.

The Museum of Local History there consists of 12 buildings, exhibitions, and Viking ships. A walking path guides you around the field with Viking graves. From Sollerön you can continue to Gesunda, where a gondola will bring you up the Gesunda Mountain with panoramic views of Lake Siljan and the surrounding areas. Drive from Gesunda along Lake Siljan in the southern direction past Leksand to the charming village of Tällberg. The houses in this small village are mainly made of wood. In addition to the village’s 200 permanent residents, this is a popular place for private holiday cottages.
