Gardenissima 2026
As winter in the Dolomites reaches its peak and the slopes in Val Gardena are in perfect condition, a very special highlight is approaching: the South Tyrol Gardenissima. Year after year, the international ski scene gathers here – from experienced World Cup athletes to ambitious amateur racers – to compete on one of the most spectacular race courses in the Alps. The longest giant slalom in the world stretches over more than six kilometers, from the summit of Seceda down to Col Raiser, demanding everything from its participants with over 1,000 meters of vertical drop.
Yet it is not only the sporting challenge that makes this event so unique, but also the breathtaking scenery of the Dolomites, turning every run into an unforgettable experience. The Gardenissima stands for speed, precision, and passion – but also for community and the pure joy of skiing. Every second, every line, and every decision on the course counts. Anyone standing at the start is not only competing against others, but also against their own limits – and that is exactly what makes this race one of the most extraordinary events of the winter season. And of course: the perfectly tuned wax tip from the Toko experts on site.
