Environment

Vasaloppet works in a committed and structural way to live up to our reputation as an environmental role model.

The Vasaloppet Arena

It’s here just waiting for you. An arena created by nature itself, accessible and beautiful, framed by small chalet villages and sparse pine forests, crossed by dirt roads and paths beaten out as generations of local people made their way between the villages.

The Vasaloppet Museum

Vasaloppet's House in central Mora opened in 1994, and that same year the Vasaloppet Museum opened on the premises. In 2013 the doors opened on a newly renovated museum. The museum has been updated several times since then and for the Winter Week 2017 we opened a special section about "Mora-Nisse", Vasaloppet's greatest icon through the ages. The new museum offers visitors a wide view of Vasaloppet's long history and through modern expression it shows the journey Vasaloppet has taken from being a cross-country race to becoming an arena for exercise and public health all year round.
