The Tour de Ski is in full swing in Val di Fiemme, but the Fiemme Ski World Cup committee is also focused on the FIS Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined World Cup events that will be held in Val di Fiemme from 10^th to 12^th January. Some days ago, the snow on the large hill (HS 135) slid down on the frozen ground. So, FIS Walter Hofer (Ski Jumping) and Lasse Ottesen (Nordic combined) gave the green light to host the races on the normal hill (HS 104), which was completed some time ago. “The facilities in Val di Fiemme are ready to host the upcoming FIS Nordic Combined and Ski Jumping World Cup events”, stated Sandro Pertile, one of the top experts in Ski Jumping and future FIS Ski Jumping Race Director, after inspecting the hill.
The program remains unchanged. The Nordic Combined athletes will take part in two 10km Gundersen events on 10^th and 11^th January, while on Sunday 12^th January they will compete in the Team Sprint.
Tickets for the Ski Jumping competitions can be purchased at 20 euros until 9^th January (10 euros for FISI members and residents in Trentino-Alto Adige, free for children under eight, residents in Val di Fiemme and disabled people).
Val di Fiemme is also called the “Valley of Harmony” because of its resonance spruce woods, sought after by luthiers all over the world. The perfect combination between climate and soil properties gives life to these trees with extraordinary acoustic characteristics. Val di Fiemme is a huge green lung and invests in new technologies for the development of the energy supply chain. But that's not all! The snow in Val di Fiemme is Olympic, since it was chosen as the venue for the Nordic disciplines of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. This valley in Trentino is surrounded by the UNESCO Dolomites and will host the Olympic competitions in cross-country skiing, Nordic Combined and Ski Jumping. It has been chosen also because its sports facilities are among the most reliable ones in the world, starting from the G. Dal Ben Ski Jump Arena in Predazzo and the F. Canal Cross-Country Stadium in Lago di Tesero, venues of the upcoming FIS Nordic Combines and Ski Jumping World Cup events.
