Listen "The Legend of Gran Risa: the epic beat of the Ski World Cup"
Episode Synopsis
Every year, in the period leading up to Christmas, Gran Risa becomes the stage for unforgettable emotions, hosting the men's Ski World Cup races. An iconic slope, carved among the peaks of Alta Badia, where legends such as Alberto Tomba, Marcel Hirscher, Ingemar Stenmark and Marc Girardelli have written epic pages in the history of skiing.
The World Cup is more than a sporting event: it is the reflection of the valley's soul, a moment when over a thousand volunteers work together to make every detail perfect, showing the world the values of a community that lives on passion and tradition.
To accompany us to the heart of the organization will be Andy Varallo, President of the Organizing Committee, Stefanie Nagler, Secretary General, and Anna Costamoling, part of the Product Management department of Alta Badia Brand and a ski instructor. Their story will guide us on an exciting journey, as intense as a descent between the mythical gates of Gran Risa.
