Approximate road distances. Check flights and bus schedules before you travel.

Check before buying. From Stockholm the train takes about 4 hours, with stops at Arlanda and Uppsala. From Falun it’s about 90 km by car, or a train with a change in Borlänge. Regional buses link Mora to Rättvik and Leksand.

How many days

One day for the Anders Zorn museum and house and for Nusnäs. With two days you'll have time to circle Lake Siljan, including Rättvik and Vidablick.

When to go

From June to August the days are usually long, with swimming in Siljan and open houses; Midsommar in June is widely celebrated. Winter usually brings snow and severe cold, with skiing and the Vasaloppet on the first Sunday in March.

The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.

Do you need a car?

Not for Mora town centre. For Nusnäs, Vidablick and the villages around Siljan a car is very helpful; there are regional buses with few departures and bikes to rent in summer.
