A starting place in Neveresting 2026 in Hafjell is the perfect gift for someone who has everything, or for someone who loves challenges, mastery and big goals. Here it is not about speed or placement, but about will, unity and the feeling of reaching the top – again and again.

New in 2026 is the 6-hour class on Saturday. Take the family to the slopes and feel the mastery together, open from 8 years and up. 6-hours is also an excellent opportunity to test your sprint form uphill; can you climb the Matterhorn (8 laps)? 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does Neveresting take place Hafjell?

Neveresting Hafjell takes place on the alpine slope of Hafjell alpine center between the gondola at Skitorget and the gondolatop.

What does it mean that I have 12/36 hours?

The event itself will be held from 07:00 on Friday 7 June to 19:00 on Saturday 8 June for those who will walk 36 hours, and from 07:00 on 8 June to 19:00 on Saturday 8 June for those who will walk 12 hours.

During this time (these 12/36 hours) it is up to you to perform what you can and complete as many laps as you can.

Just because you have 12 or 36 hours doesn't mean you have to walk constantly for 12 or 36 hours.

If you want to go 3 laps, take a break, go 5 laps, sleep a little, etc., then it is entirely up to you.

If you want to complete 15 rounds right away, that's fine.
You control these 12 or 36 hours as you wish.

Remember to take time to eat and drink well throughout the event!

What is the focus, walking for 12/36 hours or climbing Mount Everest?

The focus and the best goal during Neveresting is to climb Mount Everest in 15 laps. You can choose whether you want to do more laps within the 12/36 hours after climbing Mount Everest.

In other words: The main focus is to climb Mount Everest.

Everyone who participates in Neveresting will be awarded this year's participant medal.
