About Svinvallen

In the heart of Dalarna’s deep forests, just outside Mora, a landscape of unexpected beauty unfolds – Svinvallen. Here, where coniferous forests usually reign with their green crowns, Scandinavia's most extensive inland sand field stretches out. It is a rare place, shaped by the immense forces of the ice sheet thousands of years ago, which today beckons with an extraordinary natural experience. The vast expanses of rolling sand dunes evoke a feeling that brings to mind distant, warmer climes.
