Audi FIS Ski World Cup Plan de Corones — Women's Giant Slalom

The Ski World Cup on the Erta slope in Plan de Corones

Above San Vigilio di Marebbe, in the municipality of Marebbe/Enneberg (Autonomous Province of Bolzano, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol), the Erta slope of the Plan de Corones (Kronplatz) ski area has firmly established itself in the legend of alpine skiing. Every January, it hosts the Audi FIS Women's Giant Slalom World Cup, a stage that experts consider one of the most selective on the entire circuit: a steep, undulating, and technical track that forgives very few mistakes and offers pure sporting spectacle.

A technical wall that made history

The Erta hosted European Cup races for seventeen years before joining the top international circuit in 2017. Since then, it has become a permanent fixture on the women's calendar, capable of crowning the greatest giant slalom skiers of their era. The roll of honor speaks for itself: Mikaela Shiffrin leads the standings with three victories, ahead of champions such as Federica Brignone, Viktoria Rebensburg, Tessa Worley, Sara Hector, Lara Gut-Behrami, and Alice Robinson.

More than just a race: the valley festival

The South Tyrolean stage is much more than just a race. In the days leading up to the giant slalom, the area comes alive with concerts, torchlight processions, and laser shows, while the spectacular public bib draw takes place in Brunico/Bruneck. On race day, the finish area in the valley becomes a huge party with live music, the awards ceremony, and the warm cheers of the Dolomite crowd. The event is organized by Al Plan Events, chaired by Danny Kastlunger.

An event in the heart of the Dolomites

Immersed in the landscape of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites, the Plan de Corones World Cup combines top-level competition with the charm of the South Tyrolean mountains. For the public, it is an opportunity to see the stars of the "White Circus" up close in a unique setting, in one of the most renowned ski resorts in South Tyrol.
