along the way at a WC venue to ski.


Most people don't know/realize this, but Vasaloppet is actually held not
too far away from Birkebeineren, and closer to Oslo than Stockholm!

(I just checked my maps: It is just 102 km between the two starting
towns, Rena and Sälen. The road distance is closer to 160 km, i.e. 100
miles)

According to Garmin Mapsource, the best driving route from Oslo to Sälen
is 327 km, while it is 416 km from Stockholm.

I.e. it is quite possible to visit both Norway and Sweden on a trip to Vasa.
