SKIRILONGA

Skiri Trophy XCountry (20-21 January) and Marcialonga (28 January) in Italy

Skirilonga is the natural and free combination of the two events

Mum or Dad takes part into the ski-marathon and kids join the Skiri Trophy

Holidays in Trentino area as awards for winners

 

When two of the world's most famous cross country skiing events join together, the result cannot but be even bigger and more fun. Marcialonga represents the second most popular winter ski-marathon in the world, after Sweden's Vasaloppet, and skiers and snow lovers from anywhere on this planet take part into Marcialonga  in order to enjoy the fabulous and unique 70k track that crosses both Val di Fiemme and Val di Fassa with all their picturesque little towns, at the foot of majestic Italian Dolomites. The Skiri Trophy XCountry recently changed its name, it used to be the XC Trofeo Topolino, but not much has practically changed as it remains some sort of reference point for all young skiers of any nation. 

In 2018, both events will be strongly tied one another thanks to a new born competition named 'Skirilonga'. Young participants to the Skiri Trophy XCountry and their parents will create a special combined standings where both times will be summed up and the deal will be done, better yet, the fun doubled! Only one rule must be followed, mum or dad plus one of their son or daughter will form the teams, that's it, and it will be totally free for everyone.

The first three teams on the overall standings will be awarded as follows: a two-night stay full-board included for two at the Hotel Bellavista in Cavalese (www.hotelbellavista.biz) for the first couple, the same deal but at the Hotel Torretta in Bellamonte (www.hoteltorrettabellamonte.it) for the second team, and a two-night B&B stay for four people (2 adults and 2 children) at Agritur Maso Pertica in Castello di Fiemme (www.masopertica.it) to the bronze medallists.

The first three kids instead will be awarded with a free participation to the Marcialonga (when they will be 18 years old).
