Morin-Heights Viking Loppet

The name of the Loppet reflects the rich ski heritage of the two partners who organize this event. The Municipality of Morin-Heights is the acknowledged Cross Country Ski Capital. The Viking Ski Club is the oldest cross-country organization in Canada.

The Morin-Heights Viking Loppet is a classic-style skiing event and it will feature three distance events: 10 kms, 20 kms and 33 kms.
