Do we know where the stages will be located compared to Vännäs and Umeå?
Ss4/7 and maybe 11 could work, although they didn't look that interesting on the onboards. https://www.rally-maps.com/Rally-V%C3%A4nn%C3%A4s-2020

Well, we have to wait until August or September until we know for sure.
I will rather focus on Rally Finland in July...
Is the date even confirmed ?
A goodbye video of over 50 years of Sweden rally in Värmland

Thank you Värmland! More than 50 years of fantastic excitement, great experiences and unforgettable moments. Together we have created the world's best rally,
a winter festival which has grown year by year. Wherever the competitions will take place in the future, Värmland will always be part of Rally Sweden. Thank you, for everything
that has been – and everything that comes!
February 24th-27th are confirmed dates.
Badly caught out with the date changes my hotel price has doubled now for moving to the new dates

any more news available now?
Any information about the course?
Closest available accommodation to Umea is right now about 110 km. South, west and north directions.
Do not know in which direction to look at.

I would assume at least one day of stages around Vännas area (west of Umeå).
Anyhow, it is still early days but already some snow in the inlands:

Also there is a thread already. https://www.motorsportforums.com/sho...ly-Sweden-2022
Probably going to skip this one. It's looks impossible to find a place to stay...
Thanks.
Searched for similar thread when made first post, but didn`t find it.
Found a hotel 110 km to south from Umea. It`s rally Sweden, do not expect to find close by accommodations.
Maybe Admin can put those two Threads together?
I've been to Rally Sweden 6 times, there it was relatively easy if you didn't wait too long. Driving roughly an extra 250km/day to the stages is a bit too much, days are quite long already. There are many other alternatives on the calendar (without snow indeed). We'll see for the year after... :) Anyway for the organizer it could be a financial problem, if there is no accommodation for spectators, then there will not be so many to buy a ticket...
Of course it's normal. In some years if you wanted to see +-4 stages in a day you easily had +-250km alone for driving between the stages (like from Frederiksberg to Vargasen or Torsby - Norway stages). Add over 200km to that for sleeping so far from the stages, starts to add up doesn't it?
Exactly, it was usually 100km but now 200+ to the stages. Can't find myself spectating Sweden for a while.

Guessing you have checked out the private cabins you can rent. Putting up the link anyway
https://visit.rallysweden.com/en/cab...er=spid%3Dsp-2
When I checked it some month ago, nothing was available. It seems like the organizer is doing some work trying to find more accommodation to offer.
We have 8 beds available in x2 cabins in Vännäs due to friends unable to now travel.
Pm if interested.

What a mess all the time. Something is very wrong with FIA rally section.
Cannot really make any plans anymore.
Good I did not buy rally pass and ferry tickets yet.
Do not know why to blame FIA?
Situation is ridiculous. Rally Sweden Team looked for new destinations, there were I think minimum two more options, discussions with cities were held, and now what? Deal with Umea was announced in April. And in December they have problem with road permissions? It's like joke. Deal with Umea was done, but surrounding communes didn't know about it,or what? They thought it will be cycling?:D
Appears to be objections from Military & some Sami villages that stages pass through submitted on 7th December. They supposedly have set deadline for 19th December to get resolved.

There are also lot of environmentactivists in most of the swedish authorities. They would be more than happy to stop this rally. Like many other things they already succeeded in.

Glenn says they must start preparations way earlier. Like talking to landowners. But also there are stakeholders with other interests than rallying. Despite having talks before summer they haven´t come longer this autumn. Swedish Motorsport association can decide wheather there will be a rally in Umeå or not. In that case they can decide to move rally to other location...
Practically not more than that. I wonder why they didn´t learn the essentials for being organizer...?
Then they have agreed with the local Sami population on 6 x SS and transport in their Reindeer "territory".
The Sami population has been 100% against the rally, but after talks btw the rally organizers, the municipality and the Sami reps, they have agreed that it is ok, if this results in better cooperation and that the municipality will create a development plan for the reindeer business in the area.

I was living even much further north on the Norwegian side for some years, and have tried to cooperate with the norwegian sami reindeer people. That can be very challenging indeed!
But now the Rally Sweden plan is moving forward again!
Still not that much snow;

Press the shield symbol, and the town symbol on the right, then you will see Umeå town.
