Dalarna means the valleys and the province’s varied, unspoiled landscape is stretching from mighty mountains in the north to rolling farmland in the south. Dalarna is like Sweden in miniature.

The Dala horse became world-famous at the 1939 New York World’s Fair and has been a Swedish icon ever since.
