The track holds 4 major climbs and 4 major descents. The biggest climb runs from km 14 to km 16 (from Ylläsjärvi): +427 m over 2.8 km at an average of 15.4%. One major climb starts in the last 30% of the course. The longest descent drops 253 m over 4.2 km from km 27, at an average of 6.0%.
Distance, total climb and high point are the organiser's. Each section's climb, descent, grade and high point, the low point and the named climbs are measured on the official GPX with the same method as the interactive profile, so the sections can add up to a slightly different total.
