What It’s REALLY Like to Ski Vasaloppet as an Average Skier (POV)

I’m a very average cross-country skier (normally I’m a runner), and this was my first time doing Vasaloppet - the 'Öppet Spår måndag' 90km in 2026. I started in group 4 near the very back, so this video shows what it actually feels like from that perspective. It’s a POV recording of the first 21 km of the race, letting you experience the start, the traffic, the first climb and the atmosphere exactly as I saw it. After around 20km the crowds got less and I was able to finish the 90km course in 8 hours 43 minutes. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to do Vasaloppet as a normal skier, this is exactly that experience!
