The Langfjord race – Langfjordrennet
11 February 2019
The Langfjord race, first held in 2004, also serves as the Northern Norwegian Championship in backcountry Telemark. The main event is contested on Telemark skis with free heels, but there are also categories for alpine skiing and snowboarding.
Langfjordbotn is known for its excellent snow conditions; with plenty of snow remaining in the mountains well into the summer, it is the perfect destination for skiers.
Prizes are awarded in all categories to the top three finishers on the ascent and the top three on the descent.
