Ski World Cup in Alta Badia

With its steep gradients, tight transitions and roughly 500 metres of vertical descent, it stands as a true test of technique, courage and absolute precision. For decades, ski legends such as Alberto Tomba, Ted Ligety and Marcel Hirscher have shaped the history of this slope – and each year a new chapter is added to the enduring Dolomites saga.
