Särna is alocality situated inÄlvdalen Municipality,Dalarna County,Sweden with 719 inhabitants in 2010.[1]
The two parishesSärna andIdre were originally part ofNorway but were occupied by an expedition of Swedish peasants fromÄlvdalen in 1644. The 1645Treaty of Brömsebro was ambiguous regarding the status of the parishes, but when the exact path of the border was to be decided in 1751, Norway accepted a border west of Idre and Särna.
During the German occupation of Norway 1940-45 Särna was considered the only safe escape to Sweden because its police was the only reliable anti-Nazi police along the border.
In 1971, the three municipalitiesSärna,Idre (which itself had been split off from Särna in 1916) andÄlvdalen were amalgamated to form the present municipality of Älvdalen.
