What is the Worldloppet Pass?

Participation in a Worldloppet race is a remarkable achievement and is therefore recorded with the Worldloppet Passport. The Worldloppet Passport is a personal document in which every participation in an event should be recorded. The official Worldloppet Passport includes a special page for each event in the Worldloppet Series. After finishing a Worldloppet race, the participant asks the race office for the official stamp for the event. The stamp in the passport is the confirmation of the completed race. Collecting the many Worldloppet stamps is an additional motivation to practice the sport of cross-country skiing and to travel to different places to experience new countries, people and cultures. At the moment there are more than 18,000 Worldloppet passes in circulation around the world.

Who I buy the Worldloppet Pass?

The price for the Worldloppet Pass is approx. € 33,- (depending on the tax in the respective country). The Worldloppet Pass is available at all Worldloppet race offices of the 20 members.
