A loppet is a "community fun race" open to all ages and abilities. 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.
