Vasaloppet China is the biggest cross-country skiing race in Asia, the member of Worldloppet, one stage of China Tour de Ski and the sister race of Vasaloppet Sweden. The giant snow sculptures in Jingyuetan with different themes also attract thousands of viewers and dozens of Chinese and foreign medias every year.
The race has different categories, 50km Men Elite, 50km Women Elite, 50km Open Class and Blueberry Vasa 25km. It’s an opportunity for amateur skiers to compete in the same course with the top professional athletes around the world. The natural environment of Changchun Jingyuetan in Jan. is very suitable for cross-country skiing.
