Steilhang Race by EQPE & SM
The season’s coolest alpine competitions will take place on Svartåshanget in Klövsjö - this year with National Championship status! With a vertical drop of 200 metres, the slope attracts the entire Swedish alpine elite.
National Championship status – the absolute elite on site!
Steilhang Race by EQPE offers two challenging FIS races (GS and SL) on Svartåshanget, a slope with a 200-metre vertical drop. New this year: both the GS and SL races hold Swedish Championship status, meaning the 2026 Swedish champions will be crowned in both the women’s and men’s categories in each discipline over the weekend!
Friday, March 27 – FIS Giant Slalom (GS)
The Giant Slalom course starts from the very top of Klövsjöfjäll, with the first section through the Skicross course before descending Svartåshanget. A long and demanding course that will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the season!
Saturday, March 28 – FIS Slalom (SL)
In the slalom race, the excitement builds toward the second run – which will be decided almost simultaneously for the top 30 women and men. There will be two starts, two courses, and one shared finish area. This means the best woman and the best man from the first run will cross the finish line just 30 seconds apart!

History
In the area where Svartåshanget is located, the Blizzard Cup parallel slalom competition was organised during Easter 1981. Participants included the biggest stars of alpine skiing at the time, including Ingemar Stenmark, Stig Strand, Steve Mahre and Bojan Križaj. The event was a huge success with around 18 000 visitors.
In 1986, an application was made to organise the World Championships in Klövsjö. In preparation for the application, the current section of the Svartåshanget was built, which measures almost 500 metres, has a drop of 200 metres and a steepest section of 38 degrees. Unfortunately, there was no World Cup in Klövsjö.
Today, Svartåshanget is Sweden's newest competition slope, approved for international competitions by FIS in autumn 2021.
