Kicksled World Championship in Geilo

A unique event!

Saturday the 25th of January 2025!

The last weekend in January, the sports village of Geilo invites you to the most exciting winter event of the season! The Kicksled World Championship is unique in many ways: it is informal, social, and rich in tradition. With roots in one of the oldest modes of transport in Norway, Sweden, and Finland, dedicated enthusiasts have, since 1982, created a beloved and vibrant winter carnival. The Kicksled World Championship is truly one of the highlights of Geilo!
