Sollerön

The largest island in Lake Siljan, with a Viking Age burial ground, an 18th-century church and pastoral lake views.

Sollerön is the largest island in Lake Siljan. A bridge connects it to the western shore, about 15 km from Mora. The island is home to a Viking Age burial ground with roughly 130 ancient graves, one of the most important prehistoric sites in Dalarna. The white church, completed in 1775, stands by the lake and looks out toward the mountains across the water. The island is also the centre of traditional church boat building (“kyrkbåt”), and summer brings church boat rowing races. Its open farmland makes it ideal for a half-day drive or bike ride.
