Morahyrkart

In Mora, by Lake Siljan in Dalarna, Morahyrkart offers kart rental with open drop-in access, mostly in summer, along with group bookings. The youngest are not left out, with karts suited to children from age seven, enough to introduce the whole family to driving. The venue rounds out its offer with jet-ski rental, to vary the fun on the water during the warm season.

Karting stays open to everyone, no licence or experience needed: a briefing, a helmet, and off you go chasing your best lap. Open access focuses on the heart of summer, while groups can book in spring and autumn. The pay-per-session format suits beginners as well as regulars out to challenge each other, and people happily return to beat their time. As the activity is seasonal, it is best to check the hours before coming.

Mora is a small town emblematic of Dalarna, set on the shore of Lake Siljan, the region's largest. This is where the Vasaloppet, the most famous cross-country ski race in the world, comes to an end, and where the painter Anders Zorn lived, whose house and museum can be visited. The neighbouring village of Nusnäs remains the birthplace of the famous red-painted wooden Dala horses. Lakes, forests and typical villages make up a very Swedish landscape, reached by road or train from the south of the country.
