    Vasaloppet in summary and looking ahead – registration for 2022 opens on Sunday

    It was a different Vasaloppet winter 2021, but we got it done. Due to the pandemic, Tjejvasan and Vasaloppet were the only races completed and only elite skiers could participate. But thanks to an open Vasaloppet Arena, all the recreational skiers could cross the finish line of their training too, during three and a half weeks in Vasaåket. There were many days of sunshine and blue skies, for example during Vasaloppet where a powerful tailwind contributed to strong record times. Here's a summary of the Vasaloppet winter 2021 and a look ahead at our 100th anniversary celebration.
