COURSE
The sprint track is 1.3 km with the start place at the Alliansloppet 48 km finish area, a loop up to Trollhättans church and finish up to Landbergsliden (see map).
The course is clearly marked. Officials will be placed along the entire course.
The track is closed for traffic, but on connecting roads such as warming up north of the competition area will be busy and normal traffic rules apply. Be careful!
Both eliminated and qualified athletes are advised to take the minibuses directly to Alberts hotel from where it is only a short walk down a few stairs (see pictures above) back to the athlete’s area. Qualified athletes will have priority access to the minibus to get back in time for the next heats.

It is also possible to ski from the finish area to the top of the stairs (Alberts hotel) but we advise to take the minibuses. The road is clearly marked with signs along the road. The road is not closed for traffic, so be careful and obey normal traffic rules!

Athlete who are qualified for the next final shall return as soon as possible to the start via the Athlete zone. Especially between the semifinals and finals, since the time between the heats is relatively short.
