The moon will be astounded when it peeks over the Dolomites. That's when the starting pistol will fire for a cross-country marathon of a most unique kind. At 8:00 p.m., several hundred cross-country skiers will shove off from Compatsch and glide on their narrow skis in the light of their forehead-mounted lamps through the luminescent night-time winter landscape. 

They'll follow the route for 42 kilometers, finally returning to their starting point. But it isn't yet possible to say whether the German, Norwegian, or Swedish national teams will in fact be the ones to capture the lead. In any event, it's a change in their training program – one which they gladly participate in every year at this time on this high-altitude meadow landscape. 

But the "Seiser Alm / Alpe di Siusi Moonlight Classics" is a fantastic experience not only for the participants, but for the spectators, too! And when the winners have been chosen, the celebration can begin – until the last aerial lift descends into the valley, an hour after midnight.
