The walk ends at Gamla Herrgården and features charming stories about Christmas traditions: why Santa Claus is red, what the oldest Christmas dish is, what a Christmas pole is, and why it’s called Christmas. A warm drink with a snack is served at the end of the walk at Vass Brita’s farm. The tour takes place in Övre Åsen and Gamla Herrgården during the Christmas season.

The “Falun in the Evening” tour is a walking tour of the city, taking you from Falun’s rugged side to its charming side.
