Stelvio is a World Cup downhill piste in northern Italy was built and opened in 1985. It is located on Vallecetta mountain in Bormio and debuted at the World Championships in 1985.[1][2]
Stelvio is widely considered one of the, if not the, most difficult and technical downhill courses in the world, with an average incline of 30.9%, steeper than Streif at Kitzbühel. It hosted two World Championships (1985, 2005), and three World Cup finals (1995, 2000, 2008).
This course is currently hosting all five men's alpine ski events (both speed, technical and team combined) at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan–Cortina d'Ampezzo.
Course named after Stelvio Pass, was designed by late Italian architect from Bormio, Oreste Peccedi.
Dominik Paris has seven World Cup downhill wins, a record for a single discipline on one course.
