Getting There & Around
The Mora-Siljan Airport is 6km southwest of town on the Malung road. Nextjet
( www.nextjet.se ) has three flights to Stockholm Arlanda on weekdays and one on Sunday
(50 minutes).
All Dalatrafik ( www.dalatrafik.se ) buses use the bus station at Moragatan 23. Bus 70
runs to Rättvik and Falun, and buses 103, 104, 105 and 245 run to Orsa. Once or twice
daily, bus 170 goes to Älvdalen, Särna, Idre and Grövelsjön, near the Norwegian border.
Mora is the terminus for SJ ( 0771-75 75 75; www.sj.se ) trains and the southern terminus
of the Inlandsbanan (Inland Railway), which runs north to Gällivare (mid-June to mid-
August). The main train station is about 1km east of town. The more central Mora Strand
is a platform station in town, but not all trains stop there, so check the timetable. When
travelling to Östersund, you can choose between Inlandsbanan (Skr494, 6¼ hours, one
daily, mid-June to mid-August only) or bus 45 (Skr269, 5¼ hours, two daily).
