LIVIGNO MAKES ITS WORLD CUP DEBUT: THE LI ZETA COURSE READY TO HOST A SPECTACULAR AND UNPRECEDENTED RACE
With the Super-G on Saturday, 27 December, the resort makes its debut on the World Cup circuit. A historic event that confirms its international vocation.
Livigno, 25 December 2025 – Just two days remain until an event set to mark a new and highly significant milestone in Livigno’s history. The resort in Valtellina will host an Alpine Ski World Cup race for the very first time, a major achievement that comes just a few months ahead of another eagerly awaited event: the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
Only six months after the men’s Super-G was awarded, Livigno has completed an intense and demanding journey, demonstrating strong organizational solidity and operational capability. In this short timeframe, the Li Zeta course – located in the Sitas ski area – has been prepared with great care, receiving positive feedback from industry professionals.
“I was born in Livigno and I know the Li Zeta course very well,” says Lorenzo Galli, Head of the Italian Speed Team. “The work carried out has been truly excellent. It’s a course that begins with a faster, more flowing section, before entering the first steep pitch, tackling a traverse and then the second steep section. Livigno is synonymous with alpine skiing and, as a native of Livigno, I can only be proud of it.”
As per regulations for courses making their debut on the World Cup circuit, tomorrow athletes will have the opportunity to test the track. Later in the afternoon, at 6:30 p.m., the bib draw will take place, after which the starting order for Saturday’s race will be determined.
Words of appreciation also came from Massimo Rinaldi, Race Director: “Congratulations to Livigno Next, FISI and Sitas, who have worked with great professionalism to be ready for this event. The light snowfall on the eve required a few additional interventions, but we are already working to fine-tune and prepare the course to the highest standard.”
“We are ready and deeply motivated to host an event of this level,” said Luca Moretti, President of Livigno Next. “As a destination, we strongly wanted a World Cup stop, fully aware of the challenge it represented. Today we can say that Livigno is ready to present itself to the world of the White Circus with a selective course and a high technical profile. Now it’s up to the athletes.”
