Ski Classics Pro Tour Season XVI will head to Scandinavia in mid-February, as the ski destination Orsa Grönklitt will host the first events in Sweden.

Featuring the Grönklitt Criterium 61, the event is set to showcase the talent of the Pro Teams and their athletes.

After seven stages in southern and central Europe, the Ski Classics Pro Tour starts its final Scandinavian part of the season in the same venue as last season, Orsa Grönklitt.

On Saturday, February 15, the weekend starts with the Grönklitt Criterium 61. The eighth event in Season XVI is a 61-kilometer long-distance race offering stunning scenery. The Grönklitt Criterium 61 is a mass-start race featuring a challenging course.

“It is with great pleasure we again will travel up to Grönklitt in mid Sweden for the upgraded race Grönklitt Criterium 61! The upgrade is mainly in the course, where we will simplify the course a bit, and use a new part of the track system where we have not been before. Grönklitt is one of the world’s top destinations for cross-country skiing, so we are proud to be there with the Tour!” says Ski Classics Director David Nilsson.
