Stage description

This is one of the most famous rally stages in Västerbotten, featured in the Swedish Rally Championship since the early 1990s. The stage offers a mix of speed, technical narrow sections, and spectacular jumps. Starting in the village of Hössjö, drivers encounter a road change early on, heading toward the Skogs Nolia area, known as Rosetten, a Spectator Area which combines open fields with technical challenges. Shortly after, the stage transitions to a high-speed section through the villages of Håknäs and Mobäck, followed by another road change into a highly technical section. This area begins with an off-camber curve leading to a narrow bridge over a brook. In the middle of this technical stretch, cars jump onto a field, followed by another road change in Bergnäs. The final section alternates between fast, flowing curves and technical challenges, leading uphill to Hössjöberget. The stage finishes with a descent, featuring jumps and technical turns, ending in Kallhögen.

Safety information

Snowmobile – stay on the trail. All snowmobile traffic should stay on the trails within the competition area, and all ”free riding” must be avoided. Wild animals and reindeers can be frightened and run towards the rally stages.

Safety Areas. It is important where you as a spectator stand and walk. Stages can be cancelled immediately if you don’t respect the safety areas!
