This is a great park for a morning hike, followed by a cosy lunch either at a restaurant or with your own picnic. The nature is simply beautiful.

Tanaka Farms holds several "u-pick" events through the seasons. In September and October, they offer wagon rides, a petting zoo, a corn maze, games, arts and crafts, and food.

Northern Dalarna boasts 560 kilometers of well-prepared cross-country ski tracks waiting to take you on new adventures. The trails are divided among 19 different track centers, with at least one near each of our four main localities: Grövelsjön, Idre, Särna and Älvdalen. There are plenty of illuminated ski tracks for evening tours in the winter darkness.

Over 2,400 km of prepared snowmobile trails await you around Idre, providing a fun way to explore the area's stunning natural surroundings. In particular, the Älvdalen's area offers two great areas for snowmobiling: the Nordic Area (www.nordicarea.se) in the south and the Snöskoter Område Norra Dalarna (www.sond.se) in the north. To drive a snowmobile here, you'll need a license that can be obtained at the tourist office, at gas stations and at some other local businesses. You'll also need to ask for map and information about the rules and regulations you need to respect. If you don't have a snowmobile of your own, there is a wide range of rental companies in the area, with the possibility to go on a guided tour. One of them is Idre Adventure.
