Mountain Finish for D45K-D55K and DH60
and older on stage 4
These classes has their finish for stage 4 on
the mountain, in the upper part of the ski
slopes. You can read more about it in the
competition information.
About stage 4
A chair lift to the start, fast terrain on the
mountain and slalom orienteering to the finish.
It might be good to train downhill running
before Day 4.
On Day 4 we have a change of arena and
move down to O-Ringen City in Lindvallen.
Here, chair lifts will be waiting to transport you
to the start, from Gustavtorget to Snögubben,
and to orienteering on Sälfjället, one of Sälenfjällen’s
most interesting orienteering areas.
Here, there is a denser path network for the
easier courses as well as detailed hillsides with
valleys and ridges, which together provide an
exciting technical challenge. Course setter Johan
Hallgren from Bjursås is known for his meticulous
and well-designed courses. His previous
courses include the 2015 Swedish League
at Bjursås. Johan thinks that Day 4 will be quick
when large parts of the area offer high speed,
and when competitors are now beginning to
develop an orienteering technique that is effective
on open fells. The courses will finish by
taking you down the hill over Lindvallen’s ski
slopes, which requires extra training at downhill
running for those who want to push hard
all the way to the finish. With the final controls
in the forest areas between the pistes, however,
the finish may be more akin to a technical
slalom course rather than a downhill course.
For those who are not in so much of a hurry,
we recommend a short break before heading
down the hill. On a beautiful summer day,
there are panoramic views from the top of the
mountain.

Gustavsliften
Incorrect control description
Due to a technical error, some classes have
Gustavsliften
wrong class designation on the control
description printed on the map on Day 4.
The loose control description is correct. the
class designation is also printed on a separate
place on the map.

About stage 5
A test of physical strength will conclude O-Ringen.
Hard training will help here, where the
terrain is heavy and hilly, a tough conclusion
to the week in Sälen.
The terrain on the final day is an old favourite
from Day 5 in 2008 and stands out among
the others in that there will not be any open
mountain orienteering. Instead, you will face
some glorious forest terrain with many marshes
separating smaller hills. If the week is kind
until now, the final day of the O-Ringen week
will be a physical test and all classes will climb
through soft, marshy terrain in the final part of
the courses.
Chasing start for most classes
Course setter Hans Andersson also set the
courses when O-Ringen took place in Dalarna
in 1999. The final stage will be a chasing start
for most classes, which means the overall leader
starts first, and the first to the finish in each
class
303:an
will be the overall winner.
