A visit to the village of Nusnäs, southeast of Mora, to watch the production of Dala Horses is a unique experience. This is the only place where they are made and, though all are carved and painted by hand, over 400,000 horses are produced every year, with 20% of those exported. The best time to visit is on a weekday when you can watch the workers in action. Nusnäs is a short drive south of Mora along the lake and, if you don’t have a car, buses from downtown Mora depart frequently. The two companies in Nusnäs making Dala horses are Nils Olsson Hemslöjd and Grannas A. Olsson.
