From 6th to 7th January 2024, the 18th edition of the Tour de Ski will end again in Val di Fiemme. As always, the spotlight will all be on the Final Climb, the exciting final competition of the Tour that will see the athletes engaged along a 9 km course with an amazing finish on Alpe del Cermis, along the steep slopes of the Olimpia III alpine ski slope.
A unique emotion for the best nordic ski athletes in the world and for the spectators, but also for those who want to experience the thrill of the Final Climb on their skin, try their hand at the climb and take part in the promotional OPEN race Rampa con i Campioni, on Sunday 7th January, just a little before the FIS World Cup champions.
The race format will be the same of the final stage of the Tour de Ski, that is a 9km Mass Start in free technique: the race will be held along the Macialonga track until the start of the Cermis, the legendary Final Climb.
All participants will be awarded with the finisher medal, while the first three rankings of the male and female category will be awarded on the podium of the Tour de Ski, at the end of the race.
There are many past champions who have participated in the various editions of the Rampa con i Campioni: Dario Cologna, Cristian Zorzi "Zorro", Antonella Confortola, Peter Schlickenrieder, Vegard Ulvang, Petter Northug, Aleksandr Legkov, Justyna Kowalczyk and many others... who knows who we will find at the starting line in the 13th edition of the Rampa con i Campioni!
