The men's Alpine Ski World Cup races on the Gran Risa Piste are a highlight for all ski enthusiasts

Sunday 17 & Monday 18 December 2017

Every year in December, the world of skiing looks to South Tyrol and Alta Badia. For this is the time when four races of the Men's Alpine Ski World Cup take place in our home country.
The Giant Slalom on the Gran Risa Piste in Alta Badia and the Downhill Race in Val Gardena count amongst the great classic competitions of Alpine skiing.

rom the winter season 2015/16 onwards, there has also been a night-time Parallel Giant Slalom taking place on the Gran Risa Piste.

The Gran Risa Piste has already witnessed the successes of the great stars of skiing: Ted Ligety, Ingemar Stenmark, Mark Girardelli, Bode Miller, Marcel Hirscher and, of course, Italy's most successful ski racer, Alberto Tomba.

During the World Cup skiing weekend, La Villa, the place where the Alta Badia world cup races are happening, is at fever pitch.

The very special atmosphere when thousands of skiing enthusiasts from the whole of Europe come here to encourage their favorites and to celebrate with them, must simply be experienced to be believed!
