World's Longest Torchlight Descent – Ortisei Ski School

2025 Edition

During the 2025 winter season, the Scuola Sci & Snowboard Ortisei brought back its most famous event: the world's longest torchlight descent. From the Seceda mountain station, ski instructors descended with lit torches along the La Longia slope for approximately 10 kilometres, down to the Rifugio Val d'Anna.

The event, which was also open to experienced skiers and guests of the valley, confirmed the strong tourist appeal of this night descent in the town of Ortisei/St. Ulrich, in Trentino-Alto Adige, with the traditional dinner at the mountain hut to conclude the evening.
