The 22nd edition of the ISMF Ski Mountaineering World Cup is around the corner. Some of the world’s top most Ski Mountaineering athletes will compete across nine World Cup stops in eight countries.
The season will kick start with events in Courchevel, France, in mid-December to the Finals in Tromso, Norway, in April.
The Ski Mountaineering 2025 calendar features the World Cup debut in Shahdag, Azerbaijan, in January and the Olympic test event in Bormio, Italy, in February.
France’s Thibaud Anselmet and Emily Harrop are the reigning overall and sprint champions, while Italy finished atop the mixed relay rankings last season.
Sprint and mixed relays are the two events in the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 programme. The other disciplines, not part of the Olympic programme, are the individual race, the vertical race, and the team event.
From 2 to 9 March, Morgins, Switzerland, will host the 2025 World Championships, where Olympic quotas will be directly allocated.
