Ski Classics Season XV returns this weekend after the Christmas and New Year’s break with event 5, the 3 Zinnen Ski Marathon, in Italy. Here are all the facts you need to know ahead of the weekend.
On Saturday, January 13, the 3 Zinnen Ski Marathon starts 2024 and takes center stage as the fifth event of Ski Classics Season XV.
Following the resounding success of the previous season and earning a prestigious top 3 spot at the coveted ‘Event of the Season’ award, the 62km long-distance race in classic technique, former named Pustertaler Ski Marathon and now 3 Zinnen Ski Marathon, once again secured its place within the Ski Classics Pro Tour calendar.
Self-titled the longest and hardest ski race amidst the stunning Drei Zinnen Dolomites (Three Peaks in the Dolomites), the event promises a challenging course and breathtaking scenery.
The event name, 3 Zinnen Ski Marathon, fits perfectly with the path taken almost two years ago by joining the Ski Classics Pro Tour.

3 ZINNEN SKI MARATHON WITH STUNNING SCENERY
Captivating spectators and athletes alike, the Dolomites proudly hold the status of a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for their stunning beauty and ranking amongst the world’s most enchanting mountain landscapes.
The allure of these majestic peaks lies in their distinct vertical formations, ranging from striking pinnacles and towers to spires, all harmoniously neighboring a backdrop of horizontal surfaces, including ledges, crags, and plateaus. The Dolomites create a captivating spectacle by rising abruptly above expansive talus deposits and gentle foothills.
For the fifth event of Season XV, expect many thrilling battles on the tracks and some splendid drama as the Pro Team athletes fight for glory in mid-January.
