About Cross-Country Skiing: A Short History and Fun Facts

Cross-country skiing is one of the oldest winter sports in the world, originating over 5,000 years ago in Scandinavia as a means of transportation across snowy terrain. It evolved into a competitive sport in the 19th century, with the first recorded race held in Tromsø, Norway in 1843.

Today, cross-country skiing combines endurance, technique, and speed — often referred to as the “marathon of winter sports.” The FIS World Cup circuit, established in 1982, showcases the best athletes across various distances and techniques: classic and freestyle.

Facts you need to know:

• The longest official cross-country race is the 90 km Vasaloppet in Sweden, held annually since 1922.
• Norway has won more Olympic cross-country skiing medals than any other nation.
• The iconic Tour de Ski finishes with a brutal uphill climb on the Alpe Cermis slope in Italy, often compared to a mountain stage in the Tour de France.
