Scheduled to take place from August 14 to 17, 2024, this year’s edition of the Toppidrettsveka offers four days of events for traditional cross-country skiing athletes, long-distance skiers, and activities for children and young people.

Since its inception in 2005, Toppidrettsveka has flourished into one of the world’s largest and most important summer ski competitions. Each year, it attracts a star-studded international field that rivals the stature of a World Cup event. Toppidrettsveka represents a meaningful opportunity for many top-tier athletes to reunite and compete following the World Cup final in March.
