Looking to book a hotel EARLY for vasaloppet 2006.
Preferably a 2 night stay in a hotel or bed/breakfast VERY CLOSE to the finish line in Mora. Also, would like it close to train station as we'll take the train from Stockholm to Mora.
Anyone have the EXACT location where the finish line is? Or any hotel names right in the area ??

http://vader.mora.se/ this is a weather picture for mora. it is taken from the top of the mora church. The finish line is at the end of vasagatan (vasa street) doing diagonal up tp left past church bell tower. diagonal across from bell tower is fliesberg sports store.

thanks !>
let the double poling begin !>
don't forget the uphill bounding; for the first 2,5 km takes you 160m, about the height of a 45 story building, i think. and copnditioning counts! look at the video. it doesnt tell all. and beg for seedning if you dont have a low number. there it counts

I've never stayed there, but looking at the STF Vandrarhem (Hostel) book, there is MÃ¥lkullann Bed&Breakfast/Hostel at 19 Vasagata, right next to the finish line (MÃ¥l). I imagine they are EXTREMELY busy during Vasalopp Week, the prices go up that week.
I cycled through Mora in June 1994 and stopped at the Vasa ski museum (right across from the finish arch). It's all very close to Mora Centrun and the railway station.
From the WEB site about the name "MÃ¥l-kull-ann": The lady that owns the place is named Ann, she is a real "Kulla" (lady from Dalarna) and the place is at the "MÃ¥l" or finish line.
Someone else mentioned the WEB camera on top of the church, overlooking centrum and the Vasa finish arch: http://kamera.mora.se/
There's an archive of the noon photo of every day for the last several years. Eg. to see the area on Vasa day (Mar 6 2005) at approx 12 noon:

if it is only you and nights before/after, there are places, ie schools, where you can stay: think hurricane refugee sleeping on blankets on a hard floor, maybe unless you have pads.

I don't know about price changes but I have stayed there in the summer and it was quite nice. I suspect that you have small chance of booking a room but you should try now.
For making phone calls to sweden to inquire or book rooms, etc., I suggest you look for an international plan to give you $0.10 or so per minute calls. You can do better and if you do nothing, I think will do much worse. $1/min or more?
In sweden, your us cell phone, unless it is a gsm tri mode phone will almost certainly not work.
