Alpine Ski World Cup Road Trip

The FIS Alpine Ski World Cup for the 2025-2026 winter season kicks off with the Giant Slalom in Sölden, Austria, and concludes with the World Cup Finals in Sun Valley in March. The highlight of the upcoming season will be the Alpine World Ski Championships held in Crans-Montana.

Since its inception in 1967, Giant Slalom has been an integral part of the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup. At the end of October, the 2025-2026 winter season kicks off with the traditional Women's and Men's Giant Slalom races on the Rettenbach Glacier in Soelden.

Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, the Giant Slalom Olympic Champion, won the Giant Slalom Alpine Ski World Cup Crystal Globe during the 2025-2026 winter season. The 25-year-old Brazilian celebrated his second victory of the season in this discipline at the last race held in Hafjell, snatching the title from Marco Odermatt.

Julia Scheib finished on the podium eight times in ten Alpine Ski World Cup Giant Slalom races during the 2025-2026 winter season, winning five of those races (Sölden, Tremblant, Semmering, Kronplatz, and Are), with two second-place finishes and a third-place finish in the final race at the Finals in Hafjell.
