Given a local ring (R,𝔪) and an elliptic curve E(R/𝔪), we define elliptic loops as the points of ℙ²(R) projecting to E under the canonical modulo-𝔪 reduction, endowed with an operation that extends the curve's addition. While their subset of points satisfying the curve's Weierstrass equation is a group, these larger objects are proved to be power associative abelian algebraic loops, which are seldom completely associative. When an elliptic loop has no points of order $3$, its affine part is obtained as a stratification of a one-parameter family of elliptic curves defined over R, which we call layers. Stronger associativity properties are established when 𝔪ᵉ vanishes for small values of e ∈ℤ. When the underlying ring is R = ℤ/pᵉℤ, the infinity part of an elliptic loop is generated by two elements, the group structure of layers may be established and the points with the same projection and same order possess a geometric description.
