The iconic ‘August Snow’ with the BWT 1K Shot, the talk ‘Dreams of Olympia,’ and many champions for an event that blends sport, entertainment, and lifestyle: on the horizon, the 2026 Games. 

 

Livigno, 25.08.2025 – The wait is almost over: on Friday, August 29, starting at 5:00 PM from the square in front of the church, Livigno will host the new edition of the BWT 1K Shot—one of the most spectacular events of the Italian summer sports season. A full kilometer of snow in the heart of August, right in the town center, made possible by snow reserves preserved through the snowfarming technique, will set the stage for a knockout challenge among Italy’s top cross-country skiing champions.

At the start line will be star athlete Federico Pellegrino, kicking off his final competitive season in a setting rich with symbolism, in a town to which he has always been closely tied. Joining him will be many leading figures of the Italian national team—from Caterina Ganz to Davide Graz, Elia Barp to Nicole Monsorno—as well as the talents of the Livigno Team and the Sporting Club: a blend of experience and youth that represents the future of Italian cross-country skiing.

But the BWT 1K Shot won’t be just about cross-country skiing. To close the day, a spectacular freestyle and snowboard show will light up the park set up in Plaza dal Comun, featuring a lineup of champions with strong Olympic spirit and major ambitions for the future. International icons and X Games winners Miro and Flora Tabanelli will return in front of their home crowd, joined by Olympic gold medalist Michela Moioli, a global symbol of snowboarding.

Joining them will be the talents of the Livigno Team and the young athletes of the Sporting Club Livigno, creating a performance with a strong generational spirit—a true passing of the torch linking present and future, with eyes already set on the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.

An event with unique charm, made even more special by major media coverage: the race, narrated by the duo Puppo and Ambesi, will be streamed live on the Sport Mediaset website and later available on DAZN, reaching audiences both in Italy and abroad. As per tradition, the day will also be enriched by the evocative ‘Gara da li Contrada da Livigno,’ a competition that fills the streets of the town center with pride and identity. On the eve of the event, anticipation will be fueled by ‘Dreams of Olympia’, a free live talk with the champions of the Livigno Team—a moment of dialogue and storytelling to share emotions, expectations, and visions ahead of the most important season ever. The appointment is set at Cinelux, starting at 9:00 PM on August 28.

As always, sport in Livigno meets a truly unique environment: an exclusive Alpine destination where tradition blends seamlessly with contemporary style. Boutique shopping, an endless array of outdoor and indoor activities, and outstanding dining—from gourmet cuisine to the authentic flavors of Valtellina—transform the event into an experience that goes far beyond the competition itself. A refined yet welcoming atmosphere, with spectacular landscapes, sporting energy, and Alpine lifestyle, will frame an event that is, in every sense, exhilarating.

The BWT 1K Shot 2025 is more than just the magic of August: it marks the first official act of the Olympic season, the prologue to a journey that will place Livigno at the very heart of the sporting world with the 2026 Winter Games. An event that weaves together spectacle, community, tourism, and ambition—opening a path that already carries the scent of the Olympics.
