Welcome to Miniknat
Orienteering School
Stage 1 - Malung-Sälen Stage
There will be a Miniknat (string
course) at each arena, on each
day. A short course where the
very youngest runners can follow
a taped route all the way, with a
different theme on each day. Each
runner gets a race number, a map
and a small prize at the finish. On
the course, the children punch each
control with an SI card.
Each day has a different theme, which is reflected
in the taped routes, controls and activities
on the course. You can also meet Ringo
the elk on each day. Everyone can go at their
own pace and parents are responsible for their
children out on the course.
Themes for each day
Day 1: Summer in the mountains
Day 2: Dalarna
Day 3: Winter in the mountains
Day 4: Forest animals
Day 5: Elves and trolls
Location
Each day, the string course will be in an area of
forest next to the arena. Look out for signs or
look at the arena map.
SportIdent
In order to avoid queues developing, please
bring your own SI card or a parent’s SI card.
There will also be some SI cards available for
hire.
Price
If you know that you are going to do the string
course every day (5 days), we recommend that
you register for the whole week at (180 SEK)
at the competition office. Pre-entered runners
have their own start lane to help avoid queues
developing.
The string course costs 60 SEK per day if you
register on the day. You can register at the start
of the string course by paying either in cash or
with a card.
Opening hours
The string course is open from 8:30 to 14:30.
Have you never orienteered before,
but would like to try it? Or have you
orienteered before but feel like you
need to refresh your orienteering
skills a bit? No matter what you
level is at the moment, the Orienteering
School has the time and the
inclination to help everyone! You
decide how much help you would
like, but we hope that after visiting
us, you want and dare to go out
into the forest on an orienteering
course.
At the Orienteering School, we’ll go through
the basics of orienteering and what happens
at orienteering competitions. We’ll teach you
what’s on the map and how to use a compass
to navigate round the forest. We’ll take walks
with a map to see how the map shows different
features in the terrain. You can also test
our of our easier courses around the competition
area. You can run or walk the courses
alone, with a friend or with one of us from the
Orienteering School.
If you feel ready after that, you can go out
onto an Open course. We’ll help you choose
the right course for you. We also have helpers
at the start to guide you through the start
procedure and make sure you set off on the
right track to the first control. Towards the
end of the day, you’ll have the chance to run
an Open course with one of the leaders at the
Orienteering School. If you have run an Open
course, please come to us afterwrds and tell us
how it went! We might even be able to give
you some tips for next time.
The Orienteering School has a tent at the
arena on each day and we are open throughout
the competition day, so you can come to
us when it suits you. You can find us by looking
out for the Orienteering School signs. The Orienteering
School is open for everyone aged 9
or over and is free of charge.
Open 9:00-16:00 every day!

COMPETITION AREA
About stage 1
15.
The first race at O-Ringen in Sälen will be decided
on a classic area around Kungsleden,
“The King’s Trail”. It’s important to keep track
of the tempo changes if you want to fully succeed
here.
On Day 1, you’ll get to experience Köarskalsfjället
and courses with almost 100 percent
mountain orienteering. The area north
of Högfjällshotellet is crossed by Kungsleden,
which starts at Sälenfjällen and runs up to the
border at Härjedalen. Course setter Jan Gustavsson
has set O-Ringen courses on several
occasions and was involved in the course setting
when
O-Ringen took last place in Sälen in 2008.

The longer courses will reach the border between
bare mountain and forest terrain on the
slopes of Östfjället. Here it will be important to
handle tempo changes between approaching
the controls carefully and holding a high
speed in between them. To avoid people running
in “trains” on the open fell, Jan is striving
to create courses that take more different lines
through the terrain than usual. This will also
reduce the impact on the ground in the terrain.
The visibility is very good in clear weather,
but can be quickly reduced by fog, creating an
extra challenge. The ground can be rocky and
barren in places but the runnability on Köarskalsfjället
is generally very good.
