In the middle of Scandinavia and the charming Swedish countryside you will find Dalarna. The amazing region is the birthplace of the world famous Dala horse and midsummer traditions. The region is often referred to as “Sweden in miniature”. If you want to experience comfort and luxurious nature experiences in a marvelous Swedish winter landscape, you should experience Dalarnas newest (and first!) high end accommodation, the Fryksås Chalet.
The Fryksås Chalet is an old rustic log house that has been transformed into a place of divine comfort with elegance and style. The big, open fireplace that is the heart of the chalet invites guests to spend hours in front of it. Maybe dreaming of some of the amazing outdoor experiences in the untouched wilderness that can be found just around the corner? Visitors may also indulge themselves in a long sauna session, or practice stargazing while relaxing in the comfortable outdoor hot tub.
The chalet has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sauna, indoor & outdoor bath and a nice social kitchen where private chef dinners may be enjoyed. It also offers a meditation & yoga room and big veranda facing the south with a beautiful lake view.
Dalarna is also known for being one of Sweden’s most important regions when it comes to culture, food and outdoor activities.

The Dalarna landscape is one of mountains, waterfalls and rivers, deep forests with woodland lakes and open rolling farmland. Perfect country for hiking, skiing, cycling, skating, canoeing and other outdoor adventures. Much of the popular imagery of Sweden, culturally and geographically, is from Dalarna; a pretty red-painted cottage, people in brightly-colored folk costumes dance and swirl in celebration of Midsummer and -of course the Dala horse. All very Swedish. All very Dalarna.
