Course map and description

The course is shaped and built at the famous cross-country ski arena “Lugnet” in Falun. The terrain is quite challenging with plenty of climbs and built technical sections/features. It also consists of built trails with natural good flow, both in climbing and in downhill sections. The course is 4 km long and different race categories runs different number of laps. The course returns to the start/finish area several times during each lap. 

 

The cross-country course has capacity for many riders and therefore we do not have the intention to remove lapped riders in the race. We will decide in consultation with the Commissaire.
