Särna is a locality situated in Älvdalen Municipality, Dalarna County, Sweden with 719 inhabitants in 2010.

[1] The two parishes Särna and Idre were originally part of Norway but were occupied by an expedition of Swedish peasants from Älvdalen in 1644.

Särna has a continentally-influenced subarctic climate with mild summers and cold winters.

The cold extremes in winter are associated with the high altitude and being the Scandinavian spot farthest from the sea.

This in turn also contributes to high diurnal temperature variation and significant frost has been recorded in all months of the year.
