Because of growing concerns to hold international events in the current pandemic situation and the virulence of the Omicron variant, the organizing committee of Les Rousses (FRA), the French Ski Federation and the National Authorities took the decision to cancel the FIS Cross-Country World Cup that was scheduled to take place from 14th to 16th January 2021.

Despite all efforts, the changing restrictions and new regulations coming did not guarantee the safety of all stakeholders and therefore the decision was taken in advance.

The World Cup calendar will be adjusted accordingly.

UPDATE 5th January 2022

The FIS Cross-Country World Cup in Les Rousses will not be rescheduled.

After having checked alternatives with potential National Ski Federations, FIS Cross-Country can confirm that the World Cup events planned in Les Rousses (FRA) will not be rescheduled or relocated to another venue.

The option to add one additional competition day at the FIS Cross-Country World Cup in Planica (SLO) is currently being evaluated. More news will follow as soon as available.
