Around 13,000 skiers start at Maloja and ski 42 kilometres down the Engadin valley to S-chanf, across the frozen surfaces of the Silsersee and Silvaplanersee and through the woods past St. Moritz. It is one of the largest cross-country races in the world and part of the Worldloppet series.
The organisers publish starter and finisher counts per edition; we have not collected a dated one.
It is anchored to the second Sunday of March. Entry closes well in advance and the field is capped.
The race crosses lakes, so it carries the same conditional as the St. Moritz lake events: the route depends on ice, and warm winters have forced shortened or rerouted editions.
