Nature is just around the corner with many miles of both hiking and biking trails waiting to be explored. We highly recommend exploring Leksand municipality's over 90 villages by bike or on foot and taking the opportunity to go for a swim in Lake Siljan. During winter, well-prepared cross-country trails and several ski resorts await within an hour's radius. Combine nature experiences with family-friendly activities in beautiful Dalarna. Below you will find some examples of excursion destinations.
