alpine skiing European cup

On 31 January and 1 February 2019, the brand new competition site at Tignes is to host a stage of the European Alpine Skiing Cup!

On 31 January, it’s ladies first! Competitors will battle it out on a brand new approved slope in the Tovière sector (the “Trolles” slope), a demanding run that promises a spectacular finish in the heart of the resort.

On 1 February, it’s the parallel slalom! This latest discipline to emerge in the world of Alpine skiing is just as popular with classic race competitors as it is among skiing novices. And it’s no wonder: this fun race format keeps up the suspense all the way to the finish!

The principle: the 32 best men and 32 best women, qualified after their performance in the morning events, race against one another for a 2-leg event (one each way) in a round of 32, then of 16, followed by a quarter final, a semi final, a third-place play-off and, of course, the final.

You too, come along to encourage the Tignes Sports Club skiers and all the other competitors!
