On Thursday 17 December 2026 the Snowboard World Cup returns to the Pra di Tori slope at Passo Costalunga: men's and women's parallel giant slalom, with finals at 12:30 and free admission.
On Thursday 17 December 2026 the Pra di Tori slope at Passo Costalunga hosts two parallel giant slalom races of the Snowboard World Cup, one for men and one for women. Two riders race side by side on parallel courses and only one goes through each round, all the way to the finals. It is the fourth stop of the World Cup season.
In 2025 the men's race ended with three Italians on the podium: Roland Fischnaller ahead of Aaron March and Mirko Felicetti, who comes from Moena. The women's race went to Austria's Sabine Payer, who later took silver at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. The tourist board says this race marks the start of the winter season in Val di Fassa and Carezza; the Carezza lifts open on 4 December 2026 and close on 29 March 2027.
The event is GreenEvent certified. A month later, on 14 and 15 January 2027, Carezza also hosts the Telemark World Cup, on the Masaré slope served by the Paolina chairlift.
