The Visma Ski Classics Challengers event Latloppet is a 32km long-distance race in classic technique this Sunday, February 27, in Madona, Latvia.

Latloppet is the only popular classic skiing series in Latvia. It was started in 2018 to revive classic skiing traditions in Latvia, especially among recreational skiers.

Latloppet is carried out in the northeast part of Latvia – uplands of Vidzeme, and the Challengers event takes place in the surroundings of Madona, which local people call “the winter capital of Latvia.”

The area is known to have good natural snow conditions compared with other Latvian regions. Most of the competition course winds through mild hilly meadows where you can enjoy fantastic views with good weather conditions. 

The organizers are happy to welcome every new cross-country skier who joins the classic skiing family.
