Hafjell Ski Marathon is a cross-country skiing race that starts at Mosetertoppen Ski Stadium and has both classic and freestyle, as well as full marathons and half marathons. The cross-country race takes place on Saturday 27 February 2027. Hafjell Ski Marathon takes you on a great round trip in Øyerfjellet and is Norway's longest freestyle ski race.
Start and finish are at Mosetertoppen Ski Stadium. After starting at Mosetertoppen Ski Stadium, 815 meters above sea level, it rises steadily for about 2.5 km before it flattens out towards Raudtjønnsbekken where the youth class takes off on its 13 km. Then it goes gently down towards Nedre Moksjøen before an easy climb to Mokksjøbekken and the first food station. Here 20 km takes off. (42 km the trail goes towards Sjøsetra before it rises up towards Grytfjell. From Grytfjell it goes gently downhill to Hornsjø where the next food station is. From there it goes gently downhill about 1 km before it starts to rise up towards Krigsfjell. From Krigsfjell you slide into Hitdalen and further down to Hitvegen. From there there is easy terrain back to Mokksjøbekken and a new food station. From there, you follow the trail back to Raudtjønnsbekken before embarking on the hilly climbs to Pellestova where the last food station is. From Pellestova it goes gently downhill back to Mosetertoppen.
The descent to Mosetertoppen Ski Stadium is short and goes through the new ski test center before you make a turn at the back and down of the stadium area before embarking on the uphill that goes gently against it. The full marathon course has a total ascent of 696 meters.
