World Cup downhill and giant slalom ski races

featured in Events Calendar Updated

One of the biggest events of the season with the world's best men's and women's slalom racers competing on the Face de Bellevarde and OK (Oreiller Killy) slopes in Val d'Isère.

Two weekends of races that draw huge crowds and attract a real carnival atmosphere.

Men's and women's downhill and giant slalom races take place throughout the day alongside a top brand accessories exhibition, ski testing, and Savoyard specialities.

The evenings turn into a street party with rock concerts, DJs and the centre of the resort closed to traffic.
