Just over a month before the start of the Games, Livigno will host a Men’s Super-G World Cup race — a historic first for the resort. A fast and technical course is expected, promising an exciting competition.
Livigno, 16/04/2025 – Alpine skiing will take center stage next winter in Livigno, just weeks before the start of the home Olympic Games, when the resort will host the Men’s Super-G World Cup on December 27, 2025.
The course promises a layout of rare beauty — a one-of-a-kind Super-G that combines speed, technical skill, and fluidity in perfect balance. An entirely new challenge awaits on Livigno’s slopes.
Livigno’s very first-ever appearance on the Alpine Ski World Cup circuit will be a pivotal moment in the entire season — one of the final key tests before the 2026 Olympic Games and an event that will draw significant media and sporting attention, taking place just over a month before the Olympic flame is lit.
The start gate will be located near Rifugio Costaccia, at an elevation of 2,375 meters, on the Tagliede – Li Zeta slope
in the Sitas ski area.
The finish line, set at 1,850 meters, lies right in the heart of the village, offering spectators a full view of the final stretch — a unique and distinctive feature compared to other World Cup venues.
The course opens with an initial section featuring gentler slopes (around 15% gradient), allowing for a smooth and flowing setup. This portion will reward athletes capable of generating speed on their own, skillfully using the terrain and choosing optimal lines with technical sensitivity.
After this introductory phase, the pace of the course changes quickly: the slope becomes significantly steeper, with gradients reaching up to 52%. This highly technical central section can be set with more angular turns to take advantage of the steepness and increase the level of difficulty.
It’s a segment that will test timing at turn entry, adaptability to terrain, and precise speed control.
From a top-down course layout perspective, the slope features two wide right-hand turns, both located in the steepest sections. These direction changes on the steep walls will give course setters the chance to increase the technical difficulty of the race, inserting challenging turns where the terrain is most demanding.
The final segment maintains a difficult gradient of around 40%, leading athletes into the finish area, located near the Livigno Centro – Tagliede lift station. Here,nprecision and speed will be crucial — all the way to the final meter.
The course measures approximately 1,800 meters in length, with a total vertical drop of 517 meters.
Overall, this is a slope that will reward the most complete athletes — those capable of combining technique, power, and fluidity.
It will be a unique opportunity to watch the top Super-G specialists in action — from reigning world champion and World Cup dominator Marco Odermatt, to the many Italian athletes aiming for a podium finish on home snow.
Great attention is also being given to the immersive experience for fans, who will enjoy a “city-style” finish and a spectacular open view of the course.
“This is a source of great personal pride for me,” said Luca Moretti, President of Livigno Next. “I’m confident that, by working together and with everyone’s contribution, we’ll be able to create something truly extraordinary. Once again, it will be a valuable opportunity to showcase the strength and potential of our territory on the international stage — a potential that those who know and live Livigno have long appreciated.
Our ongoing commitment is to create unique, emotional, and unforgettable experiences.
In the World Cup calendar, this race represents a key event in the first part of the season — not only for the general standings, but also as an important test ahead of the Olympic Games.
Super-G is one of the most spectacular disciplines in alpine skiing, blending the adrenaline of speed with the precision of technique.
The course features a mix of wide turns and technical sections, with speeds reaching over 100 km/h.
It will be incredibly exciting to rise to the challenge on such a prestigious and captivating stage as the Alpine Ski World Cup. For us — and for all those lucky enough not just to witness it, but to experience it firsthand — it will be an event to remember.”
This is long-awaited news, officially announced on June 13 by the FIS during the congress held in Geneva — a confirmation of Livigno’s continuous growth as one of the most admired destinations in Europe and worldwide: an elite international location that remains deeply rooted in its history, its sporting DNA, and the many disciplines that, for decades, have found a second home in these mountains.
The debut of the Alpine Ski World Cup now joins a long list of major international events hosted in Livigno over the years — a testament to the versatility and dynamism of a resort constantly in motion.
From the Cross-Country Skiing World Cup, to past editions of Snowboard and Freestyle World Cups — both integral to Livigno’s soul since its origins — and now centerpieces of an Olympic winter that will award no fewer than 26 Olympic titles in snowboard and freestyle skiing.
