From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tour de Ski is a cross-country skiing event held for the first time in December 2006–January 2007, modelled on the Tour de France of cycling.[1] The first edition of the tour was held in Germany and Italy, with six races spread out over eight days, including two separate days of rest.[2] The prize money for the event amounted to 750,000 Swiss francs,[3] shared out on both men and women. Men's and women's events were held together on the same days.

German Tobias Angerer won the first Tour for men, while Finn Virpi Kuitunen won the first women's Tour.
