After that it passing by the Lake of Toblach, the War cemetery, and goes directly into the Höhlensteintal / Val di Landro, near Landro Lake, the Viewpoint of the Three Peaks and Carbonin. Pass Cimabanche is the highest point of the course. From there the track goes downwards to Ospitale, Olf Railway Bridge and Galleries and finally finishes to reach Fiames – Cortina d’Ampezzo, at the foot of Pomagagnon, one of the most representative peaks in the Ampezzo mountains.
Since 2020 the direction of the 35 km skating race goes also from Toblach to Cortina d’Ampezzo, with a slightly different and shortened track. After the start, it doesn’t go to Innichen, but directly to the Nordic Arena and it followes the former railway line to the finish in Cortina d’Ampezzo – Fiames (Nordic Center).
