About the event

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of nocturnal cross-country skiing at Mora’s legendary Vasaloppet, where history and adventure converge. This magical race transforms from a daytime challenge into an unforgettable night journey illuminated by stars and headlamps.
As you embark on your chosen route—90km, 45km, or 30km—you’ll be greeted by the serene darkness of Sweden’s forests, dotted with flickering torches and crackling fires. Whether skiing solo or as part of a duo, each participant must carry their own provisions for this unique expedition.
The race begins in an atmosphere charged with anticipation, where silence envelops you moments after leaving the start area. Skiers are free to choose between classic and skate techniques, adapting to the terrain and conditions that unfold under the starlit sky. The course winds through a tapestry of natural beauty, offering glimpses of untouched wilderness illuminated only by your headlamp.
Nattvasan, an integral part of this iconic event, invites teams or individuals to experience the unparalleled thrill of skiing in the dark. This nocturnal adventure is more than just a race; it’s a journey into Sweden's rich cultural heritage and a testament to human endurance against nature’s backdrop.
As you glide through the night, each kilometer brings new challenges and rewards, culminating in an unforgettable finish line in Mora. The Vasaloppet isn’t merely a competition—it is an invitation to embrace the serene beauty of the Swedish wilderness under the watchful gaze of countless stars.
