Vasaloppet Bike Festival – Cykelvasan 2026

Welcome to wonderful days filled with activities for all ages where the focus is on cycling. As usual, the Cykelvasa race (Vasaloppet by Bike) takes place on Fridays and Saturdays, but for anyone staying at Lindvallen throughout the week, there’s a substantial range of activities for the whole family.

The biggest mountain bike race in the Nordic region takes you on a historic journey in the footsteps of our ancestors. The start is in Sälen and the race then passes all the classic Vasalopp controls.

A total of 95 km on forest roads and built-up trails over moorland, through light pine forests, past shepherd's huts and meadows down to the finish line in Mora.

If you do not want to cycle the entire distance, there is Cykelvasan 30 and Cykelvasan 45 to choose from - both starting in Oxberg.
