Every first Sunday in March, the Vasaloppet delivers around 15,000 skiers to Mora after 90 kilometres of cross-country skiing from Sälen. The finish portal in the centre of Mora — with the motto "In our fathers' tracks for future victories" — stands year-round and is easy to find; the locals are used to people photographing it. The Vasaloppet Museum nearby covers the race's century of history with equipment, films, and records.
The race week around the Vasaloppet is festive and crowded. If you want to see the mass start at Sälen and the finish at Mora on the same day you need to sort out transport in advance, as the road traffic is considerable. The villages along the 90-kilometre course set up viewing points and serve hot drinks; some families camp out along the route overnight. Outside race season, the finish portal is a quiet landmark in a pleasant small town.
