Vasaloppet encourages travelling together
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.
More and more people take the bus during Vasaloppet’s Winter Week. Last winter, 24,982 trips were made via Vasaloppet buses to the start and from the finish. Vasaloppet’s own bus organization, sponsored by Preem, makes things comfortable for participants and reduces traffic in the region.
Lots of people take the train to Mora and their Vasaloppet adventure. Once there you can get a bus to your start in Sälen or Oxberg. Thanks to Vasaloppet’s collaboration with SJ, participants are offered a 10 percent discount on their trip (21/2–3/3) when using the booking form on Vasaloppet’s website. Participants can lean back in their seat on the train, relaxing and preparing for their race or recharging on the way back home.
”Taking the train to Mora is a comfortable and environmental way of travelling to Vasaloppet. We encourage both participants and spectators to do so and give a 10 percent discount to anyone making a good environmental choice by taking an SJ train to Vasaloppet’s Winter Week,” says Mattias Tappert, responsible for commercial partnerships at SJ.
