RED BULL NORDENSKIÖLDSLOPPET

HOTEL TRAVEL PACKAGE
4 days / 3 nights

On Saturday 25th of March 2023 the world’s toughest and longest cross country ski race will take place in Jokkmokk, Swedish Lapland. With a distance of 220km, and a track above the Arctic Circle, this race is a completely new type of challenge for modern skiers.

NORDENSKIÖLDSLOPPET TAKES A PAUSE IN 2023

Red Bull Nodenskiöldsloppet’s founder Wolfgang Mehl has decided to leave the role as principal organizer. The decision was made for personal reasons and a desire to move home to Austria to spend more time with family and grandchildren.

The work of forming a new organization that can ensure the future and development of the race has begun.

To give that process the best possible conditions, Red Bull Nordenskiöldsloppet will take a pause next year. The goal is to come back again in 2024 with a new team that is ready to arrange an even better race.

History

During the polar explorer Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld’s  second Greenland expedition in 1883, two of the participants, both Sami men from the Jokkmokk mountains, explored the ice covered continent’s inner unknown regions. They skied 460 kilometers in 57 hours. Upon his return, nobody believed what Nordenskiöld said about their achievement. It was considered an impossible feat. To prove his tales were true, Nordenskiöld announced a skiing race in 1884 taking place between Jokkmokk and Kvikkjokk and back, a distance of 220 kilometers. Nordenskiöld believed that distance could be covered within 24 hours.

Eighteen Samis and settlers took part in the race. The winner, Pavva-Lasse Nilsson Tuorda, crossed the finish line after 21 hours and 22 minutes and Nordenskiöld’s scientific honor was restored.
