So now I’m out practicing, and it will be great fun to come to the Czech (Republic); I love the country, and I think it will be a hard fight with Jan Šrail, Fabián Štoček, and, of course, Stanislav Řezáč. Hopefully, I will see you there and hopefully will be a great day out on roller skis. Really looking forward to it,” says Andreas Nygaard, Team Ragde Charge.

Best Moments of Energamo Lipnolopet 2022
The Ski Classics Challengers event in the Czech Republic, Energamo Lipnolopet, is a 55km long-distance roller ski race with 850 meters of total climbing.
The race starts with a flat course around the Lipno reservoir, and after 14km, there will be a Sprint checkpoint (prize money). Then comes the first refreshment station and a long climb to Pasečná, where there is a Climb Checkpoint (prize money) and other refreshments on kilometer 26.
Between kilometers 20 and 40, we ride the most beautiful part of the route, where we roller ski along the border with Austria and have a beautiful view of the Alps, passing beaver dams and the historic Schwarzenberg canal for transporting wood.
Then, return to Lake Lipno, and after passing the start area again, there is a final refreshment station and a final climb with a 14% gradient in short sections.
The surroundings of Lake Lipno are full of beautiful nature, many recreational areas, wellness hotels, cycling trails, and water sports, but also cable cabins, lifts, ski slopes, mountain bike trails, and treetop paths.
