Traffic and transport
Vasaloppet events lead to a lot of traffic on the roads around Mora and Sälen. On this page you’ll find tips on how to get here and everything you need to know about travel options to location, our buses, and closed roads when you’re on location.
By train, bus or plane you can get all the way, no matter where your journey starts.
Most choose to travel by car which often leads to a highly strained traffic situation. If you choose car it is important to be out in good time. A good rule of thumb is to add at least an hour to your travel time. Keep in mind that a day in the tracks can be exhausting, and it is important to get a good amount of sleep before heading back home.
Direct buses and trains run every day from Stockholm to Mora, and buses run from Malmö via Göteborg to Sälen.
Many sports clubs hire private buses or travel together with other clubs. Check with your local sports club!
