The World Cup visits many places but few if any have a population of around 1500 people. The region of Val Müstair is proudly hosting the Tour de Ski for the third time, but for the first time they will host the opening two stages. It is also the home of the Cologna brothers, a fact that is evident by the many houses which display their name or images in support.

Cross-country skiing originated in Fennoscandian countries in prehistoric times. It was still widely practiced in the 19th century as a way of moving from place to place in winter. As a sport, cross-country skiing is one of the most difficult endurance sports, as its motions use every major muscle group. Modern cross-country ski competition is experiencing a revolution that is resulting in greater compatibility with audiences which began with the addition of the Sprint event to the World Cup and Olympic competitions in 2002.
