[cite web |url=http://www.falun.se/www/vad/naraktuellt.nsf/doc/4E9331688A9D80BFC12572E40050D545 |title=falun.se/NäringslivsAktuellet |accessdate=2007-06-11 |format=HTM] Tourists, many of whom come from Stockholm, visit its ski resort every winter. A large part of the population commute to Falun or work within the local forest industry. Bjursås is nicknamed "The Switzerland of Dalarna", because of its broken ground. "Bjur" in the name is an old Norse word for beaver. A literal translation of the name to English means "Beaver Ridge".
