AMERICANBIRKEBEINER

The American Birkebeiner Trail system meanders its way

through Bayfield and Sawyer Counties in northwestern

Wisconsin inviting silent sports enthusiasts to explore its

beautiful forests, rolling hills, bridges, and winding trails. Voted

the number one cross-country skiing destination in the nation,

the “Birkie Trail” is home to the American Birkebeiner, North

America’s largest cross-country ski race. Over 60-miles long

(that’s over 100 kilometers), the Birkie Trail system is a year-

round mecca for running, hiking, biking, biking, and cross-

country skiing.

During the ski season, the Birkie Trail is groomed exclusively for

cross-country skiers, both skate and classic techniques. Biking

and hiking are not allowed on the Birkie Trail once ski grooming

begins. Birkie Trail passes are required for use of the trails from

December 1 through March 31 and may be purchased at

trailhead locations. Details about purchase and the Trail pass

program are available at www.Birkie.com/trail. The American

Birkebeiner Ski Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit, is solely

responsible for year-round maintenance of the entire Birkie Trail

system.
