Why a cabin works for Gotland Grand National

The race has run since 1984 and moved to Hejdeby outside Visby in 2024. The field is over 3 000 riders from some fifteen nations, plus marshals, mechanics and everyone who travels with them.

October is low season on Gotland, which makes accommodation an odd story: hotels in Visby are few and fill fast, while cabins out on the island stand empty and often cost less than in summer. If you have a van it is one thing; if a whole team needs beds indoors, a cabin is usually the simplest answer.

Remember the ferry. On Gotland the bottleneck is rarely the bed but the crossing, so book the Visby ferry at the same time as the cabin.
