Audi FIS Ski World Cup Alta Badia, where the Ski World Cup wrote history
From Alberto Tomba to Bode Miller and Marcel Hirscher: on the Gran Risa each and every competition is truly epic
A very high level of difficulty, dizzying slopes and bends, sheer adrenaline: this is what the fascinating Gran Risa - the ski race in Alta Badia which is part of the Ski World Cup circuit - is all about. And it is precisely on this giant slope where part of Alpine skiing history has been made. Proof of this can be found in the names that are engraved in the hall of fame. Preceding the Christmas festivities, this event is a feast for the entire skiing scene, where athletes and fans celebrate together.
Iconic. Challenging. Legendary.
The Gran Risa isn’t just a ski race it’s the event that brings Alta Badia together.
Every December, over 1,000 volunteers come together to share with the world our majestic mountains, our rich culture and unwavering dedication. Gran Risa is the spirit of our community. This documentary takes you behind the scenes to meet Gerhard, Milena, Iwan, Nicole and Simon - the heart and soul of a proud Ladin community that makes this international event a unique experience. Combining the thrill of world-class skiing with the authenticity and deep connection of our community to our mountain home.
A ski slope as a stage for thrill-seeking performers
Gran Risa and Alta Badia: an inseparable couple, known all over the world for the splendour of the Dolomite stage and the actors who have performed on it. And while memory carries back to the four seals of a certain Alberto Tomba, the eight victories of Austria's Marcel Hirscher are just as mind-boggling. Then again, as the well-known song goes: future has not yet been written. Gran Risa, what a show!
