Start in Mora, right at the Vasalopp finish line. Grab a coffee or recharge at the Zorn Museum before pedaling north along the eastern side of Lake Orsasjön. The route takes you through Vattnäs, famous for its concert barn, on to Born and along Hornslandet where you cycle close to the water and find great swimming spots.

In Orsa, you can take a break, check out the church and enjoy the view of the lake before continuing south on the western side. Here you'll find open landscapes, farms and magnificent mountain views.

Back in Mora, the tour is rounded off - a perfect 45-kilometer round that mixes nature, culture and cycling pleasure. This is part of the Siljan Trail, marked with blue signs. You share the road with cars which requires normal attention. Approx 85% asphalt, 15% gravel.
