‘RAMPA CON I CAMPIONI’ WITH CAPOL & ULVANG

The 2011 FIS Tour de Ski leg in Val di Fiemme opens its doors to XC ski lovers. Not only World Cup athletes will take part in the next January’s Final Climb, but also those who want to live and enjoy the Tour de Ski magic atmosphere together with the champions. 

The complete name is ‘Rampa con i Campioni’, and it is an international, promotional open free technique race, taking place on Sunday January 9th, 2011, a few hours before the last race of the 2011 FIS Tour de Ski.

It will start (mass start) at 10.00 a.m. at the cross country stadium in Lago di Tesero, while the finish line will be set at the intermediate station of Alpe Cermis, after the legendary so-called ‘Final Climb’ along the alpine skiing slope.

Everyone who submits the entry has to be conscious that the ‘Rampa’ race requires a considerable physical and technical engagement, since it takes place on the same Tour de Ski course. The overall climb length is 3,650 km with a maximum 28% slope. There will be two time limits along the course: the first one at the base of Alpe Cermis climb (10.30 a.m.) and the second one near the overpass of the road to Salanzada (11.00 a.m.). There is a maximum time limit of 2 hours for completing the race. 

Jürg Capol and Vegard Ulvang, the two Tour de Ski creators, already signed in for the first ‘Rampa’. They will not wear a bib number, but their names will be printed on their backs, so they will be clearly recognizable in what has to be seen as a very demanding, but also rewarding challenge for them as well.  

Only 200 bibs are available to the 2010 ‘Rampa con I Campioni’. If you want to join Capol and Ulvang and experience the Tour de Ski Final Climb you better hurry and get your entry in at www.fiemme2013.com
