A Loppet is a “community fun race” open to all ages and abilities. The Calgary Ski Club’s annual Lake Louise Loppet is the longest running in Western Canada. It is held every year in Lake Louise on the first Sunday in March. We encourage you, your family and friends to come out and participate in this extraordinary event and enjoy the breathtaking scenery of Lake Louise while cross country skiing.
Invictus Games Foundation, in support of wounded veterans world-wide announced the first Invictus Winter Games will be held in Vancouver in 2025. The Calgary Ski Club Loppet organizers asked and have been given permission to invite Invictus racers to our Loppet. Invictus Games Foundation have put out a call to North American veterans through the We Are Invictus app on our behalf. All ages, standing or sit-ski, you are welcome.
In the spirit of reconciliation, the Calgary Ski Club also invites Indigenous cross country skiers, young or old to participate, either in-person or virtually, just like we did together for the Virtual Loppet in 2020.
Para-Nordic skiers, including Sit-Skiers, Visually Impaired and Standing Classifications are invited to this and all future Loppets. We have added new routes and distances to challenge all levels.
Sunday, 2023 March 5th, will be the 51st Anniversary of the Lake Louise Loppet hosted by the Calgary Ski Club. For race participants, who have registered for this event, will require hotel accommodations and will be offered a discount using the Promo Code “Loppet 2023”.
