Get ready for Cykelvasan with Vasaloppet Bike Festival 2026 – activities for the whole family!
More than 10,000 cyclists have already registered for Cykelvasan on August 7–8, 2026. The obvious warm-up, for those who want to get the most out of the experience, is Vasaloppet Bike Festival in Lindvallen, Sälen. For the third year in a row, the mountain area will be filled with cycling joy, energy and inspiration for the whole family. Welcome!
The festival starts on Monday, August 3 and continues throughout the week until Sunday, August 9. The fair, Vasaloppet Bike Expo, will be open August 5–7 from 12:00 to 19:00. During these days there will be guided cycles for different ages, fun and developmental skills courses, tips on bike maintenance and the chance to test the latest industry products. New for this year, food and drink will also be available for purchase in the expo area.
“The investment in family activities and a festive atmosphere ahead of the Nordic region’s biggest mountain bike race, Cykelvasan, continues. At Vasaloppet Bike Festival there are loads of fun activities for all ages and most of them are free. We will have many suppliers on site and there will be opportunities both to view and test new cycling products. There will also be the Barnens Vasalopp cycle for children and, of course, afterbike,” says Moa Ellander, Event Manager at Vasaloppet.
On Thursday, August 6, Cykelvasasprinten will take place, where the Nordic mountain bike elite compete for honour and prize money. There will also be interviews with prolific cyclists and coverage ahead of Cykelvasan 90, which takes place on Saturday, August 8.
“The festival days will also have some exciting surprises that will be unveiled later this spring. I cannot reveal more now, but everyone who likes gravel riding should keep their eyes open,” says Moa Ellander.
Welcome to a week filled with cycling, mountain air and a festive atmosphere – the best preparation for Cykelvasan 2026.
In 2009, Vasaloppet launched Cykelvasan in the Vasaloppet Arena in Dalarna, and it has grown into the Nordic region’s biggest mountain bike race. On August 7–8, five different races are available over 32, 45 or 95 km. More than 10,000 participants have already registered – but there is room for more. Cykelvasan 90 takes place on Saturday, August 8, and it will also be broadcast live on SVT.
