Another big news will concern the scores: from the 400 points assigned in the past to the winner of the Tour de Ski, this year they will be "only" 300, in favor of the increase in the score of the third (from 240 to 270 points ), of the fourth (from 200 to 255 points), or for example of the 8th classified who will earn 207 points, a score significantly increased compared to previous years (128) in the wake of what has already been decided for each CdM appointment.

The Sprint and Mass Start challenges of 15 km in classic technique will follow one another on the Olympic slopes of the Cross-Country Center of Lago di Tesero, and then move to the top of the Olimpia III slope on the Alpe del Cermis for the last decisive test of the Final. Climb. The usual 10 km in free technique will decide everything.
Alongside the Tour de Ski, the equally engaging and interesting side events will be repeated. For the little cross-country champions there will be the opportunity to participate in the Coop Mini World Cup, an event created with the aim of promoting cross-country skiing among young people, driven by the same passion of their favorites. There will also be the show with the “Rampa con i Campioni”, a cult event now for fans and former stars of cross-country skiing, now in its 12th edition, and the Tour del Gusto, to enjoy delicious traditional dishes in company.
Welcome and enthusiasm are the watchwords for the 500 volunteers from Fiemme, who with the same joy and determination as the first World Championships in 1991 dream big of the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympics.
