The women's Alpine Skiing European Cup on the Schöneben slope in Reinswald
In the heart of the Sarntal Valley, just a few kilometers from Bolzano, the Reinswald ski area has hosted a stage of the FIS Women's Alpine Skiing European Cup for years. It is one of the most important winter sporting events in South Tyrol: on the challenging Schöneben slope, the best skiers on the continental circuit compete for victory in two Super-G races, a high-speed discipline that demands both power and precision.
The first European Cup race in Reinswald took place in February 2005; since then, the valley has consistently welcomed the circuit. Each edition brings rising stars of world skiing to the slopes of the Sarntal municipality, many of whom have gone on to compete in the World Cup and the Olympic Games. With its technical gradient, the Schöneben slope tests the agility and courage of the athletes while providing a thrilling spectacle for spectators.
The program features two Super-G races held on consecutive days. The start is traditionally set for 10:00 AM, with the finish area open to the public. The races attract dozens of athletes from numerous nations, and in recent seasons, Austrian skiers have dominated, consistently proving their competitive edge on this course.
For the Sarntal Valley, the European Cup is more than just sport: it is an event that enlivens the peak winter season and showcases the entire Reinswald ski area. The event is organized by the Ski Race Center Sarntal, the competitive division of ASC Sarntal, in collaboration with the Italian Winter Sports Federation (FISI) and the FIS. Admission to the races is free for the public.
The FIS European Cup in Reinswald is the perfect opportunity to combine a day on the snow in South Tyrol with the excitement of high-level competitive skiing, all within the authentic setting of the Sarntal municipality.
The 20th edition of the FIS Women's Alpine Skiing European Cup took place in Reinswald, in the Sarntal Valley, on February 3 and 4, 2026, with two Super-G races on the Schöneben slope. The anniversary held special significance, occurring just days before the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
The first Super-G was won by Austrian Nadine Fest, already a record-holder for victories on this track, ahead of her compatriot Emily Schöpf and Andorran Cande Moreno. The second race, originally scheduled for the 3rd and postponed to February 4th due to bad weather, was won by Emily Schöpf with a time of 1:16.07, ahead of Lisa Grill and Anna Schilcher, completing an all-Austrian podium. The starts were set for 10:00 AM and admission remained free for the public.
By car: from the A22 motorway, take the Bolzano Sud exit, then follow signs for the Sarntal Valley until you reach Reinswald (about 35 minutes from Bolzano). Winter tires or snow chains are recommended in winter.
Access to the race area is free for the public.
Super-G races generally start at 10:00 AM.
