Recommendations for those following participants by car

Many relatives and friends want to follow participants along the track. There is often a lot of traffic on the roads during our races so remember to be out in good time. A good rule of thumb is to add an hour to your travel plan. Consider carpooling!

Between Sälen and Mora there are seven official Vasaloppet checkpoints. At the checkpoints we ask that you be attentive and follow the signs and directions from our parking attendants.
