As a result of a 1957 proposal from the skiing association of Dalarna, Falun took over as hosts; first on trial from 1959 to 1962, later on a permanent basis.

In 1979, the Swedish Ski Games was part of the unofficial World Cup season.

Since the official FIS Cross-Country World Cup began with the 1981–82 season, the Swedish Ski Games has been included every year with exceptions of years hosting the Nordic World Ski Championships instead.
