62 km track : The Pustertal Ski Marathon "Classic" will be held over a distance of 62 km from Sesto to Villabassa.The starting signal is given Sesto/Waldheim. After that the track continues in direction to San Candido and Dobbiaco, it passes through the cross-country stadium Nordic Arena further into the "Höhlensteintal" until the View of the three Peaks and Val Fonda where the track turns.
Backwards the course passes again the Nordic Arena. The track continues to Villabassa where, after 62 km, the finish line is on the main square, exactly there, where the finish line of the famous mountain bike race "Dolomiti Super bike" is.

42 km track :  is over 1,000 metres altitude difference and the finish is located on 2,031 metres above sea level. The 42 km race will start in Sesto too and will be the same as the 62 km track until Val Fonda. From there it goes straight on to the right where the ascent to Prato Piazza begins. (Dolomiti Superbike route) - after a 7 km ascent with an average gradient of 10% the finish line is on Prato Piazza where you can admire the magnificent scenery of the Dolomite.

If it is not possible to ski on Prato Piazza due to a lack of snow, a change from cross-country skis to  running shoes will be made at the "View of the three peaks" and so you will be able to run on the most famous and beautiful high plateau of the Three peaks region. The aim is to guarantee the race to the athletes and to offer them a unique experience.

New 2021 - 30 km track: The start is again in Sesto, the track passes over San Candido and continues to Dobbiaco through the Nordic Arena where you have to turn and then continue on to Villabassa where the finish line is after 30 km at the main square.
