Swiss Loppet

The Swiss Loppet is a prestigious cross-country skiing series in Switzerland that brings together the country's eleven largest cross-country skiing races. These varied competitions take place every year from the beginning of January to mid-March and attract thousands of cross-country skiing fans – both amateur and professional athletes.

Non-Fluor at Swiss Loppet competitions

Both Swiss-Ski and we at the Planoiras Volkslauf organising committee consider the banning of fluorinated waxes to be an important and necessary step towards making all snow sports more sustainable. However, an absolute ban is still pending due to certain ambiguities. Swiss-Ski appeals to participants to voluntarily refrain from using fluorinated products, and shows you how to clean fluorine residues from cross-country skis. 

Decide for yourself whether a small time saving is worth using environmentally harmful fluorine.
