Vasaloppet works in a committed and structural way to live up to our reputation as an environmental role model.

The Vasaloppet Arena

It’s here just waiting for you. An arena created by nature itself, accessible and beautiful, framed by small chalet villages and sparse pine forests, crossed by dirt roads and paths beaten out as generations of local people made their way between the villages.

Press and media

Vasaloppet's events annually attract nearly 100,000 registered skiers, cyclists and runners. A rich history combined with a unique mix of participants stirs great media interest in our events throughout the year, both inside Sweden and internationally.

Functionaries

Tradition, pride and, not least, the sheer fun of managing and developing the Vasaloppet heritage are prime motivators for our volunteers. And, of course, the opportunity to strengthen the cash-account of one's sports club or association also contributes to the great interest in working with the world's biggest ski competition. The recruitment of functionaries is also a decisive factor in how Vasaloppet’s arrangements, both winter and summer, will evolve in the future.
