About Nils Olsson Dalahästar

In the idyllic Dalarna region, specifically in the charming village of Nusnäs by the glittering shore of Lake Siljan, an ancient craft tradition lives on. Here, in the heart of Dalarna, where art and authenticity intertwine, the world-famous Dala Horses are created at Nils Olsson. Every day, in an atmosphere filled with the fresh scent of wood and the focused sound of brushstrokes, carefully selected pieces of wood are transformed into small works of art. Experience the magic as the artisans' skilled hands bring each horse to life, which is then adorned with the characteristic kurbits paintings, making each piece unique and deeply rooted in Swedish culture.
