Pure adrenaline for downhill and the super-G
The Di Prampero slope is the absolute queen of the slopes. It's extremely technical with continuous changes in gradient, which makes it one of the most beautiful slopes in the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and among the most beautiful in the Eastern Alps.
The route begins at the summit of Mount Lussari, also known as Monte Santo due to the ancient sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Many Italian, Slovenian and German pilgrims make the journey here, and it's easy to see why!
The track runs for 3,920 meters to the lovely village of Camporosso at 817 meters. It has varying gradients, from a minimum of 7% to a maximum of 47%, with an average gradient of 26.5%. It's a lovely, varied width, ranging from a minimum of 28 meters to a maximum of 108 meters. Just around the halfway point, you'll find an intermediate lift stop where you can either ascend or continue your descent. Once you've taken in the gorgeous views below the intermediate station, you'll come to a fork in the road. To your right is the main slope, and to your left is the FIS variant. Then, you'll take another wide curve and then the final schuss, which will be the scene of the exciting parallel team slalom. Each nation will field its own team, so it'll be a truly international affair!
The slope is oriented predominantly north, which is great for the quality of the snow and the grip on the slope. This is important for international-level competitions that demand high standards, so it's a real bonus!
