Preparations for Vasaloppet's Winter Week and the 95th Vasaloppet since 1922 are well underway along the whole Vasaloppet track. We hope you had a good holiday break with opportunities to charge your batteries and polish your technique in preparation for your race in forefathers' tracks; take your time and come well-prepared to the start in just over a month. We look forward to seeing you!
Most who have skied Nattvasan will tell you that it's a magical experience but also a great challenge that puts you to the test in the dark of evening and night. In the Vasaloppet School you'll find some instructional videos that can help you prepare with things that are knowing beforehand and keeping in mind out in the tracks.
Want to try skiing a Vasaloppet Winter Week race but not as far as the other races? Then you should register for Blåbärsloppet, held on Saturday, March 2, 2019. Blåbärsloppet is 9 kilometres long, starting in Eldris and finishing in Mora. Anyone can participate.
Vasaloppet's Winter Week 2019 has over 52,000 registered participants already, and now train and bus booking is really taking off as well. Vasaloppet offers several transportation solutions this winter, for example with buses to start locations. Those travelling via SJ trains to Mora are also offered a ten percent discount on their ticket price.
Fulfill your dream! We have a number of cancelled places from a larger group för Vasaloppet March 3rd 2019 that you get access to. By using this registration code 3MARS-VASALOPPET-2019 you can sign up for the 95th edition of Vasaloppet in 2019.
A biathlete who never thought it would happen and a ski crosser with full focus on rehab training. Kranskulla and Kransmas for 2019 are Emma Höglund of IFK Mora SK and Mora Biathlon, and Victor Sticko of IFK Mora Alpina.
Nattvasan 90 ran for the first time in 2017. Many have described the race as a magical experience, but also as one of the toughest challenges you can face in the Vasaloppet Arena. Participants, skiing in pairs, have to face the alien experience of late night skiing as well as the compact winter darkness surrounding them in the tracks.
In Vasaloppet's Winter Week 2019 the 39th Öppet Spår will introduce a new starting procedure; group starts every ten minutes based on a self-seeding system where participants estimate their finishing time when registering and get placed in start groups accordingly. This will give the race a better flow and reduce queueing before the start.
The Vasaloppet Arena opens for skiing on Thursday, November 8 at 17:00. We will boldly state that there's probably never been so many early opportunities for skiing at Swedish resorts and facilities. When are specific destinations opening for cross-country skiing? We have the answers.
Vasaloppet's Winter Week 2018 and Vasaloppet's Summer Week 2018 attracted a total of 97,803 registered participants, of which 68 percent were men and 32 percent women. Adding the races for young children (Barnens Vasalopp skis, bike and running in both Sälen and Mora) the total number comes to 99,847. This sets a new record for the eleventh year in a row.
