Saxviken in Mora and Orsasjön

---

Skating is one of the many wonderful winter activities you can do in the Siljan area. To skate on mirror-like ice on lake Siljan or lake Orsa (Orsasjön) is an extraordinary experience. The rhythm, the speed and the sense of nature is well-suited for the whole family and for all ages.

There are prepared skating tracks on Orsasjön – a beautiful skating area – and a 3 km long ploughed track on Saxviken. Several races and activities are arranged for both the unexperienced and advanced skaters. Guided tours are arranged during the season, when the conditions allow. The skating season starts in November and starts with guided tours on natural ice on the smaller lakes. Around Christmas, Orsasjön and Saxviken will be covered with ice and in the middle of January lake Siljan usually is frozen.
