Welcome to Älvdalen
Älvdalen is one of Dalarna's most distinctive destinations, where the Österdalälven river flows deep through forests and vast wilderness. Here, Älvdalska is spoken – an ancient language rooted in Old Norse. Porphyry stone and Hagström guitars are two other treasures that have shaped the area, both celebrated at the Porphyry and Hagström Museum.
The Trängslet Dam is Sweden's highest and an impressive sight in the landscape. Enjoy hiking, fly fishing, snowmobiling and sweeping views from Hykjeberget. Älvdalen is a destination for those seeking nature and the authentic Dalarna culture.
