It is a Germanization of the Norwegian word, ''løype,'' which originally meant a steep channel used to slide logs downhill into the valleys and which in turn came from the verb ''laupe'' ("run") whose causative ''løype,'' can translate as "to get running".〕〔 〕〔 〕 is a route that has been laid out, constructed and maintained specifically for cross-country skiing. Trails may extend point-to-point, but are more typically loops for recreational use or for competition. Until the mid-20th Century, trails were tracked by the passage of skiers.
