Pictures of the Moonlight Classic 2015

A magical night, lit only by flaming torches, the headlamps of the racers and the glow of the full moon, was the scene of the 9th edition of Moonlight Classic, the cross-country ski race on the largest mountain plateau in Europe, the Alpe di Siusi. For the race over 30km victory goes to Dietmar Nöckler. The ladies' gold went to Antonella Confortola. The other winners of the evening were Jiri Rocarek and Kamila Knopova who triumphed in the short 15 km race.

Over 400 skiers signed up of whom almost a third were Norwegian, testimony to the fact that the Alpe di Siusi’s long-standing role as training-ground for the National Team from Oslo has promoted the name of Alpe di Siusi throughout Scandinavia.
