ROME –Val Gardena will host the 2031 edition of the Alpine Skiing World Championships. This is what the president of the FIS, Johan Eliasch, announced from the stage of the Reykjavik Congress, after deciding to have the delegates vote for a double assignment of the world championships for the next few years. Narvik, the town in the north of Norway, has in fact won the 2029 edition of the World Championships, while the 2029 edition of the world championship medals for Snowboard, Freestyle and Freeski will be awarded in China , in the locality of Zhangjakou. The 2028 World Flight Championships will take place in Planica, Slovenia..

The president of the Fisi, Flavio Roda, signed – live on TV – the contract with the FIS for the next Italian World Cup, which will come exactly ten years after the one in Cortina and five years from the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. Another success for Italy’s winter sports, which brings yet another event of great international prestige to our Alps.

For Val Gardena, the president of the Gardena organizing committee, Rainer Senoner, took to the stage and, visibly moved, thanked the entire Fis family for this great recognition which will bring the world championship event back to Val Gardena 61 years after that of 1970. “A great success for Italy – commented the President of Fisi, Flavio Roda – and a great success for Val Gardena, which has a truly wonderful project, which could not be discarded. It was a close competition and congratulations go to Narvik and Soldeu. But there is a lot of satisfaction in having achieved this success and, I am sure, that it will be another World Championship of the highest level, like. it’s tradition on Italian snow”.
