49th Cross Country Ski Race Dobbiaco-Cortina

The magic of the Granfondo Dobbiaco-Cortina, which will take place for the 49th time on the weekend of 17th and 18th January 2026, is unbroken. The Granfondo Dobbiaco-Cortina is one of the most traditional and popular cross-country skiing races, with its enchanting routes capable of immersing lovers of narrow skis in the marvellous setting of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites of Alta Pusteria and the Ampezzo peaks. The dates for the 2026 edition have been confirmed for the aforementioned weekend, with the event returning to the popular format. For both routes, the start will be at the military airfield in Dobbiaco. The 42 km classic race track, after a short stretch towards San Candido, heads towards to Dobbiaco, passing through the town and continuing towards Lake Dobbiaco, the War Cemetery, Lake Landro, Tre Cime di Lavaredo View Point, Val Fonda, Carbonin, and Cimabanche Pass. After reaching the highest and turning point at over 1,500 meters above sea level, the race track returns to Dobbiaco heading towards the finish line at the Nordic Arena cross-country stadium. The 35km free technique race largely replicates the classic route, with a slightly shortened route after the start and in Carbonin, heading directly towards Dobbiaco.
