Dolomites

Captivating spectators and athletes alike, the Dolomites proudly hold the status of a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for their stunning beauty and ranking amongst the world’s most enchanting mountain landscapes. 

The allure of these majestic peaks lies in their distinct vertical formations, ranging from striking pinnacles and towers to spires, all harmoniously neighboring a backdrop of horizontal surfaces, including ledges, crags, and plateaus. The Dolomites create a captivating spectacle by rising abruptly above expansive talus deposits and gentle foothills. 

For the third event of Season XVI, expect many thrilling battles on the tracks and some splendid drama as the Pro Team athletes fight for glory in early January.
