A short drive away, you'll find several stages of the Siljan Trail. The 340-kilometre Siljan Trail was named one of Sweden's twelve signature trails in 2019, thanks to the powerful landscape and cultural heritage it passes through.

Events around Lake Siljan
discover local crafts
Siljansnäs Hotell is a popular accommodation among visitors for many of the events that occur annually in the neighbourhood.
Concerts at Dalhalla, Vasaloppet, Siljan runt and Midsommarfesten in Leksand are a selection of the major events around Siljan.
See below for more information on each event.
Dalhalla
A majestic concert hall
Dalhalla is an old limestone quarry that in recent decades has established itself as one of the most powerful concert venues in Europe. All summer long, the hotels around Siljan are filled with visitors to the arena.
From Siljansnäs Hotel you can get to Dalhalla in about 45 minutes by car. There is currently no bus connection from the hotel to Dalhalla. The nearest charter bus stop is at Moskogen in Leksand.
Vasaloppet
Your Vasalopp accommodation
Siljansnäs is 12 miles from the Vasalopp start in Sälen and 4 miles from the finish in Mora. However, one of the major advantages of the location is that the roads are relatively uncongested and you avoid all the long queues to the Vasalopp start from Rättvik and Mora.
With us, you can subscribe all or part of the hotel with your company to participate in Vasaloppet, Stafettvasan or Cykelvasan. Of course, we serve an early breakfast and upload-friendly food according to your wishes.
Midsummer
The world's largest Midsummer celebration
Leksand and the big annual Midsummer celebrations are only 15 kilometres away. Most of our Midsummer guests at the hotel travel in here and participate in the celebrations during the day, and then return to Siljansnäs in the evening.
The Midsummer celebrations in Siljansnäs are held in the evening, with fiddlers and a pole procession at the village square, about 200 metres from the hotel. The celebrations in Siljansnäs attract a couple of thousand people every year.
Siljan Runt
The cycle race around the Siljan
Start and finish of Siljan runt occurs on Sollerön, about 3 miles from Siljansnäs.
Last minute purchases for your bike can be made at the bike shop Utesport in Siljansnäs. We will of course organise a breakfast bag for you to take to the start area if you start early.
