Right in front of the hotel you will have the chance to watch the champions right at the end of the Stelvio ski slope.
The World Cup course is almost 3,230 meters long with a 986-meter vertical drop and a maximum gradient of 60%. It is a notoriously unforgiving track.
The start is breathtaking. Two really fast turns lead immediately to the Rocca jump. Then it’s straight into the Canalino Sertorelli, where the skiers gather speed. Then, once past the Fontana Lunga turn, the skiers meet the insidious Ermellini turns, which lead them to the Carcentina diagonal, one of the most spectacular parts of the course.
Just a few seconds to catch their breath and from the Ciuk, they hit the fastest part of the course, the San Pietro jump, which opens up like an chasm under their skis. After the flat stretch they are into the woods where the course is on a counterslope, with big, fast and demanding turns that leave no room for error. Competitors reach more than 100 km/h as they approach the last jump and then fly under the finish banner.
Barely two thrilling minutes of pure adrenaline.
