Experience summer in Dalarna


Imagine a place where you can run barefoot through the grass and dive into inviting lakes. Enjoy bright summer nights and quiet mornings, rolling mountains, deep forests, untouched meadows and charming villages with red wooden houses. Emerge yourself in the most Swedish of traditions – dance around the midsummer pole, sing until early morning, listen to brooks & fire. Taste the local cuisine and a real Swedish fika, learn about a long and rich history, pick up new skills and find calm in the countryside.
