Energamo Lipnolopet – Ski Classics Challengers Event

On Saturday, October 4, Energamo Lipnolopet will take place in the Czech Republic, and for another year as a Ski Classics Challengers event. 

The 55km event begins with flat terrain around Lake Lipno, located on the Czech-Austrian border, before transitioning into an undulating middle section with stunning views of the Alps.

The grand finale is a demanding 5km uphill to Svatý Tomáš (St. Thomas), where gradients reach up to 20% in some parts. Energamo Lipnolopet truly offers everything professional and recreational skiers could wish for in a long-distance roller ski race.

The Lake Lipno region is rich in natural beauty and offers a variety of outdoor activities, including wellness hotels, cycling trails, water sports, ski slopes, and tree-top paths. It is also easily accessible from several airports, including Prague (2 hours and 30 minutes), Vienna (3 hours), Salzburg (2 hours and 30 minutes), and Munich (3 hours and 30 minutes).
