Alta Badia (South Tyrolean Dolomites/Italy) – The countdown has started to the long-awaited Ski World Cup races in Alta Badia, in the heart of the Dolomites a UNESCO World Heritage site. On 18 and 19 December, the world's best giant racers will compete on the Gran Risa slope, one of the most technical and spectacular in the entire Ski World Cup.

HOSPITALITY AREAS: THE WINNING COMBINATION OF SPORT AND CULINARY EXCELLENCE

Alta Badia is increasingly emerging as a location that offers the highest intensity of finest indulgent moments in the mountains. In this vein, the Alpine Ski World Cup races are a unique opportunity to discover the excellence of the area. The races represent, in fact, the highlight of skiing-related moments in Alta Badia. The three hospitality areas of the event offer authentic moments of pleasure, each based on the main values of the area, namely high level cuisine, the majesty of the Dolomites and Ladin culture.

The excellence of the moments dedicated to gourmet cuisine is once again at home at the LEITNER VIP Lounge, located on the rooftop of the building opposite the parterre, where there is the possibility of following the races and spending a few hours in peace while enjoying a good glass of wine, paired with dishes prepared on Sunday by Michelin-starred chefs Gerhard Wieser (Restaurant Castel finedining, 2 Michelin stars) and Peter Girtler (Restaurant Gourmetstube Einhorn, 2 Michelin stars). Gourmet cuisine will also take centre stage in the LEITNER VIP Lounge during Monday's race with the dishes created by Johann Lerchner (Restaurant Lerchner's, 1 Michelin green star). Tickets are on sale for 275€ for Sunday and 200€ for Monday.

In the Red Bull Energy Lounge, the pioneering mood of Alta Badia meets the high ambitions of Red Bull and together they create a lounge, unique in the entire World Cup circuit. It is a building with a large terrace, located directly in the finish area, where fans can watch the races from the front row and from a privileged position, just like in the starting pits of a Formula1 or MotoGP race. Tickets are on sale at a price of €200 for Sunday and €175 for Monday. The more traditional, all wood-panelled lounge is instead called Gran Risa Chalet. This hospitality area, dedicated to Ladin traditions and culture, will host the partner Forst, Oakley and Movimënt. In addition to being set up in mountain style, it provides the opportunity to taste some of the best dishes of the local, simple but genuine cuisine.
