Ski Classics 2016/17

The Visma Ski Classics 2016/17 are the seventh edition of the competition series in cross-country skiing. It includes twelve ski marathons in mass start and a prologue in individual start, all of which are carried out in classic technique. The series began on November 27, 2016 in Pontresina, Switzerland, and will end on April 8, 2017 with the Ylläs – Levi ski marathon in Finland .

New to the series calendar is the Vasaloppet China , a race outside of Europe for the first time. In addition, the Reistadløpet in Norway and the Finnish Ylläs – Levi Skimarathon have been added to the program. The Kaiser-Maximilian-Lauf , which was held as a replacement race last year, is also now an integral part of the calendar. Instead of the prologue that was previously held on the day before La Sgambeda , the series now begins with an independent race in Pontresina, which for the first time is being carried out individually for both men and women and also counts for the individual classification of the series. The König-Ludwig-Lauf is no longer in the Ski Classics calendar, which had to be canceled in the previous year due to the weather.
