-Alliansloppet as the biggest rollerski race in the world warmly welcome Visma Ski Classics to Trollhättan. The winter season and the summer season are finally meeting! We talked several years ago about having rollerski event part of Visma Ski Classics with David Nilsson, and it feels great to see this becoming reality! Alliansloppet has been a precursor and worked hard to offer the greatest visibility and exposure to long-distance skiers in summer. The promotion of cross-country skiing  is very important for a sport that has for too long been confined to a seasonal sport. We warmly welcome to Trollhättan skiers from all levels, from the very beginners to the Vasaloppet winners, for a great and fun edition of Alliansloppet 2019!, says Magnus Larsson Alliansloppet CEO.
