 From Mora, it's possible to travel further north on Inlandsbanan to Östersund.

 The train is called Snötåget, operated by Inlandsbanan. Snowtrain is operated here daily between 31 December and 21 April.

 The famous Vasaloppet, is the annual cross-country ski race held beginning of March from Sälen to Mora.

 In Mora it is possible to bike with skis

 Old steam locomotive from 1916, was in traffic during 1948-1960 in Dalarna.

 Morastrand station is much closer to city centre than the main Mora station. This station was opened and closed several time through the years, the last time it opened was 1994 for the tourist Inlandsbanan railway.

 Today the Inlandsbanan railway is only used between Gällivare and Mora. The south part from Mora to Kristinehamn is not in use any longer although the tracks are still in place.

 Rush Rail is transporting timber on this part of Inlandsbanan.

 In Mora, the main shopping street is Kyrkogatan. Here is an underwear shop preparing for beach 2016.

 Skating is popular here.

 From Morastrand there is a commuter train service to Borlänge.
