With its magical atmosphere, finely honed organization and beautiful surroundings the 70-kilometer course attracts thousands of skiers every year.
The race starts in Moena, Val di Fassa, and finishes on the main street of Cavalese, Val di Fiemme, passing through 13 villages and thousands of cheering spectators. The course also passes the prominent ski jumps in Predazzo and goes through the famous Nordic ski arena in Tesero.
