Advice from Worldloppet
During the Vasaloppet Days in China at the turn of 2014-15, discussions were held with Angelo Corradini, Secretary General of Worldloppet and Juha Viljamaa, member of the Worldloppet Executive Board on travelling to the event in China.
Corradini and Viljamaa was very clear from Worldloppet point of view they would like to see support from the local Organizing Committee for planning and implementation of traveling to such a complicated country like China. This should be given both the participants who want to travel alone or in a group.
In conjunction with this year’s Vasaloppet Week in Mora, Sweden we proudly could present various travel options and also eight different travel suppliers, travel agencies or similar, representing 10 different countries; Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, France, Switzerland, Italy, France, Czech Republic and Austria. Discussions are also ongoing with potential travel partners in Germany and USA.
For those who want to be in a group for Vasaloppet China, our travel partners now offering fixed travel packages from various European origins, that includes competition days in Changchun and also a few days in Beijing with visits to tourist attractions such as the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City , the National Stadium / Bird’s Nest, etc.
For those wishing to travel on their own there are two variants with service included, either from Beijing with service for further domestic travelling, or with arrival directly to Changchun International Airport. Both options includes that a local tour and hotel transfer in Changchun, the host city of Vasaloppet China.
