Lake Siljan Holidays

For picture-perfect images of Sweden, look to the heart of Dalarna and the breathtaking Lake Siljan. Tourists and locals decamp here when the weekend hits, enchanted by its thick forest, glittering waters, and the red facades of the traditional wooden houses that are mirrored in the glassy lake. Come winter, Nordic skiers book Lake Siljan holidays to take advantage of the pristine snowfall. Intriguingly, the waterhole occupies a vast crater formed by the impact of a meteorite that crash-landed on Earth around 400 million years ago, leaving the area rich in fossils.
