‘RAMPA CON I CAMPIONI’ STRAIGHT UP TO THE TOP
ITALY’S VAL DI FIEMME READY FOR ‘TOUR’

Val di Fiemme about to host 2012 FIS Tour de Ski final legs
The unique ‘Rampa con i Campioni’ race gets back on track…uphill of course!
Entries open until 31 December, 2011
Tour del Gusto scheduled on Sunday 8 January along the Final Climb

In less than ten days Italy’s Val di Fiemme, in Trentino region, will welcome world’s top skiers for the eventual 2012 Viessmann FIS Tour de Ski races. In addition to the two CT competitions in Lago di Tesero (Men’s 20k and Women’s 10k on Saturday 8) and the ‘terrific’ 9k FT Final Climb on the following day, the Nordic Ski Fiemme OC is organising the open FT race named ‘Rampa con i Campioni’, literally translated as ‘A climb with the champions’. Professional skiers and simple cross country lovers will have the chance to enjoy the magic atmosphere of one of the most amazing track in the world on the Alpe Cermis, and a good bunch of XC skiing champions are awaited at the start.
The overall Final Climb length is 3,650k with a maximum 28% gradient, an outstanding track that in the last ‘Rampa’ event welcomed big names such as Czech Katerina Neumannova, Italy’s Cristian Zorzi and Fulvio Valbusa, Swedish legend Torgny Mogren, German Peter Schlickenrieder and those who invented the Tour de Ski series, Vegard Ulvang and Jürg Capol. 
Zorzi, Neumannova, Valbusa and last season’s winner Lysanne Zago have already booked their bib to the 2012 race, and so did Alois Stadlober (world champion with the Austrian relay in 1999 in Ramsau), Markus Hasler of Liechtenstein, and former ski jumper Andreas Goldberger, three times world cup winner and twice world champion.
Athletes from Austria, Sweden and Russia, among others, will be at the start of the 2012 Rampa con i Campioni (10am on Sunday 8 January), and for those who don’t want to miss this sensational race…with the champions, entries will close on December 31 (€ 25, competition bag excluded). All info is available on www.fiemme2013.com.
Another ever-present character inside the FIS Tour de Ski Final Climb show in Val di Fiemme, is the food-and-drink-tasting-tour along the uphill track, named ‘Tour del Gusto’. Six stops, from the very bottom right up to the finish area, where spectators will find (since morning) local delicacies, warm drinks, games for children, and live music with djs and a huge marching brass band. Fun will be served all day in Val di Fiemme. Join us and enjoy.
