Cross-country skiing: 2025/2026 World Cup calendar unveiled

On Thursday, the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS), which is holding its spring meetings in Vilamoura (Portugal), published the official calendar for the 2025/2026 cross-country skiing World Cup.

As expected, the stage at the Station des Rousses (Jura), which was once again a huge popular success last January, is not on the programme. As usual, the cross-country skiers will return to Ruka (Finland) at the end of November. Then, before Christmas, there are dates in Trondheim (Norway) and Davos (Switzerland).
