3 Zinnen Ski Marathon, the fifth event in Ski Classics Season XV, takes place this Saturday, January 13, 2024, in Sexten, Italy.

Ski Classics Season XV returns after the Christmas and New Year’s break with the 3 Zinnen Ski Marathon this weekend.

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 secures 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.

The 3 Peaks (3 Zinnen) are known all over the world and offer enormous potential to help the Ski-Marathon become even more famous on the international market – the organizing committee is convinced of this, as the race takes place entirely in the 3 Zinnen Dolomites region.

For some, the name may be unfamiliar at first. But we will certainly not forget the roots and the “Puschtra,” as the locals call it.
