The winter season in Val di Fassa opens with the Parallel Giant Slalom World Cup, which takes place on the tried and tested "Pra di Tori" slope at the Carezza Pass
The Carezza Pass, between the provinces of Trento and Bolzano, is one of the Italian locations chosen by the International Ski Federation to host the Snowboard World Cup. On Thursday 12 December, from 9 a.m., the best snowboard specialists will compete on the "Pra di Tori" slope, at the foot of the Catinaccio and Latemar mountains, in two parallel giant slalom races for men and women. Among the favourites will be Mirko Felicetti from Moena, while Lucia Dalmasso will hold high the female colours of Ski Team Fassa. In the last edition, it was the Italian Maurizio Bormolini and the German Ramona Theresia Hofmeister who conquered the highest step of the podium.
The programme (which might be subject to changes) includes lots of "green" entertainment, such as concerts, shows and fireworks display. There is also an area devoted to the sponsors of the event.
