The Pustertaler Ski Marathon was held for the first time in 1976 and is thus the oldest cross-country skiing
event in South Tyrol! The 48th Pustertal Ski Marathon will take place in January 2024. For the athletes it is one of the most important cross-country races in Italy.
On Saturday, 13.01.2024 the traditional Pustertal Ski Marathon in classic style will take place. Participants
can choose between the distances of 62 km and 30 km. The start of the long distance is in Sesto. The
short distance starts in the Nordic Arena of Dobbiaco. The finish of both races is in Villabassa.
On Sunday, 14.01.2024, the „Prato Piazza Mountain Challenge“, also in classic technique over 30 km
with 1,000 metres of altitude difference, is on the programme. The route leads from Villabassa into the
Höhlensteintal valley to Carbonin. The finish is on the Prato Piazza.
