Pro Tour Season XVII heads to Switzerland for Engadin La Diagonela

The Ski Classics Pro Tour continues its journey with the third event of Season XVII: Engadin La Diagonela. On Saturday, January 17, 2026, the spotlight shifts to the high-altitude beauty of the Engadin Valley, Switzerland, for a 55-kilometer long-distance event from Pontresina to Zuoz.

Engadin La Diagonela has been a cornerstone of the Pro Tour since its introduction in Season IV. After many seasons, the event has become a favorite among athletes and fans for its stunning landscapes, high altitude exceeding 1.800 meters above sea level, and unparalleled atmosphere.

As the competition heats up in Season XVII, all eyes will be on who can conquer the altitude and tactical demands of this prestigious event.

“As every year, we are thrilled to be part of the Ski Classics Pro Tour Series with Engadin La Diagonela. Welcoming athletes from near and far, both professionals and recreational skiers, to the Engadin Valley. Enjoy an unforgettable experience with us!” says Ramun Ratti, President Engadin La Diagonela.
