Marcialonga – The First Grand Classics Event Season XIV

by Leandro Lutz • 11.06.2022
Ski Classics continue with Marcialonga on Sunday, January 29, 2023. The 70-kilometer classic race marks the seventh Ski Classics stage and Season XIV’s first Grand Classics event. 

The traditional Italian long-distance skiing race, Marcialonga, has twice been awarded the “Best Event of the Year” in Ski Classics. The 2023 edition will mark Season XIV’s seventh event and first Grand Classics race.

Marcialonga was established in 1971 when a group of Italians decided to copy the world-famous Vasaloppet and create their own version of the legend. The event has reached its legendary status as its unique atmosphere and the course that runs through small historical villages are the event’s trademarks.

Thousands of participants come from all over the world to enjoy the event. Many skiers consider Marcialonga the most extraordinary long-distance skiing race due to its magical atmosphere, well-run organization, and the beautiful surroundings that the course can offer. 

Additionally, the event organizers have adequate snow farming facilities, ensuring that the race can be held even if there is no natural snow on the ground. 

Expect many battles in Italy as the Pro Tour skiers fight for glory in Marcialonga, the seventh Ski Classics stage and the first Grand Classics event in Season XIV.
