Janteloppet 2026: Thrills and a Fresh Twist on Norway’s Coolest Ski Festival

Janteloppet has always been more than a race, it’s a vibe. A place where skiing meets community, and where the day ends in the wildest after-ski you’ll ever experience. On April 11, 2026, Janteloppet keeps everything you love but adds new ways to make the day your own.

The Heartbeat: Ski. Play. Party.

The soul of Janteloppet remains intact. The iconic mantra “Ski. Play. Party.” still sets the tone from the first start gun to the last beat on the dancefloor.

• The Legendary “For All” Race: The 20 km amateur race stays at the heart of it all, still welcoming first-timers and seasoned skiers alike.

  
  

• Freestyle Spirit: Skating or classic? Your choice. Technique stays open, and the mass-start format still gives that adrenaline rush when everyone takes off together.

  
  

• The Stage Is Set: We’re back in Hafjell, racing at Mosetertoppen and parties at Gaiastova.

  
  

• After-Ski Icons: The Janteburn after-ski and the Afterburn after-party remain the highlights of the weekend.

  
  

• Grand Prize Morning Showdown: Set your alarm, the world’s top athletes will once again battle for the coveted Janteloppet Grand Prize before the masses hit the course.
