Mora lies at the heart of Dalarna, on the shores of Lake Siljan and along the Österdalälven river. It’s world-famous as the finish line of the Vasaloppet, and in summer runners can follow parts of the same historic trail. From lakeside paths to forest tracks, the area offers varied terrain and the unique atmosphere of Sweden’s most iconic endurance event.

Dalhalla is a unique outdoor concert venue in an old limestone quarry. It is a striking cultural landmark with dramatic cliffs and acoustics that amplify music under open skies. The recommendation is to park the bike and have a short walk around the area.

A perfect shelter for an overnight stay or to shelter from the weather, but be mindful that it doesn't have a water supply.

The S/S Laxen is a Swedish steamboat located at the Siljansfors Forest Museum in Mora. The ship Laxen was built in 1899 at Gefle Varv for Nedre Dalelfven Fleet Association. She was used to collecting wood (wood hunting) in Hedesundafjärden. For this purpose, she was equipped with a steam-powered capstan winch with around 2,000 meters of wire. The S/S Laxen had two sister ships the S/S Östa 1898 and S/S Bäsingen 1905.

The Vasaloppet cycling route is clearly signposted with green road signs that read: 'Cykelvasaleden'.

Next to the finish arch of the Vasaloppet is this traditional red house from 1850. It is named after Nils 'Mora-Nisse' Karlsson, the most famous and successful competitor in the history of the cross-country ski tour. In 1943, the Swede won on his debut. In total he participated in the Vasaloppet ten times, of which he won nine times. Today, an exhibition about the Vasaloppet has been set up in the cottage.
