As one of the true pillars of long-distance skiing, Vasaloppet gathers thousands of skiers at the same starting area each year, offering both professional and recreational skiers a chance to write their page in ski history. First held in 1922 and inspired by the historic journey of Gustav Vasa in 1521, the race now attracts global attention, uniting tradition, culture, and competition in a single event.

Last season, Stina Nilsson and Alvar Myhlback triumphed on the snowy tracks, with Myhlback also becoming the youngest ever male winner of Vasaloppet. In 2026, all eyes will be on who can follow in their tracks and add their name to the sport’s most coveted winners list.

“Vasaloppet is proud to be a part of Ski Classics. Due to the Pro Tour, we consistently have a very high reach among TV viewers, both internationally and in Sweden. We hope to see some fresh Olympic medalists on the start line in 2026,” says Tommy Höglund, Sport Director Vasaloppet.

With a total elevation gain of 814 meters and a highest point of 528 meters above sea level, the race demands endurance, tactics, and strength, rewarding those who can handle the fast-paced mass start and final sprint into Mora.

Swedish Traditions at their Best
Beyond the competition, Vasaloppet is deeply rooted in Swedish culture. Sälen, the starting location of Vasaloppet, is Sweden’s most popular alpine ski area, renowned for its numerous alpine ski resorts.

Mora, the iconic finish location, blends folk traditions with modern flair, offering visitors a taste of local heritage, from its Dalahäst wooden horses to its renowned craftsmanship and vibrant downtown cafés.

More than a race, Vasaloppet is a week-long celebration with activities and competitions for all ages, welcoming elite athletes and recreational skiers from around the world.
