Mora is the cultural hub of Northern Dalarna and globally famous as the finish line for the Vasaloppet, the world's oldest and largest cross-country ski race. The town houses the renowned Zorn Museum and the historic home of painter Anders Zorn, one of Sweden's most celebrated artists. Nearby Nusnäs is where the iconic Dala horses are still handcrafted today. Lake Siljan provides ample opportunities for swimming and sailing during summer, while winter activities are dominated by skiing and long-distance ice skating on the frozen lake.
