Ultravasan 2026: complete FR + EN guide

Ultravasan is part of the Week 16 TrailCompanion guide batch. This page condenses the practical decisions to make before booking: reference format, terrain, access, lodging, gear and official links to check before travel.

The key is not distance alone. On this kind of trail, success depends on pacing the climbing, managing aid stations, adapting to local weather and arriving rested with a simple bib, start and post-race plan.

Build preparation around hilly long runs, controlled descents and hike-run blocks. For 90 km, you need to hike early without losing rhythm, run the easier sections and eat before intensity shuts down appetite.

TrailCompanion Prep then turns the guide into a checklist: tested kit, lodging, transport, documents and week-by-week nutrition reminders.

Start logistics from Sälen for the start and Mora for the finish. Confirm bib pickup, parking or shuttles first, then choose lodging. An early start or late return can completely change the best base.

Keep the official links in your Prep: race website, registration page, rules, access map and last-minute instructions. This guide gives the framework, but the organiser remains the final source.

Stockholm and Oslo can work as international gateways, followed by train/bus or car toward Mora and Sälen depending on your route.

Because the start and finish differ, decide early where to stay before and after, and check official runner buses or transfers.

Staying in Sälen reduces start stress; staying in Mora simplifies post-race recovery and onward travel from the finish.

Many runners should book two separate nights or lodging with an organised transfer.

Ultravasan is best prepared as a complete project: terrain, pack, arrival plan and recovery. The earlier those decisions are made, the more race day becomes about pacing, clarity and enjoyment.
