The preparation of the giant teams that will inaugurate the 2020/21 World Cup continues on the well-prepared slopes of Val Senales, on Saturday 17 October in Soelden with the women's race and on Sunday 18 with the men's one. The blue team is preparing on the tracks where, despite the restrictions due to Covid, it will be possible to regularly carry out both the races on the calendar and private training sessions in the coming weeks. "The training conditions here in Val Senales are excellent, there is a beautiful weather and a splendid snow and we are very happy to be able to train here at our home, in Italy - explained the World Cup holder, Federica Brignone - We are ready for Soelden and we can't wait for the races to start ”. In addition to the Aosta Valley champion, the others called for the opening, Marta Bassino, Luisa Bertani, Valentina Cillara Rossi, Lara Della Mea, Sofia Goggia, Roberta Melesi, Laura Pirovano and Ilaria Ghisalberti also train in Val Senales. The same goes for the seven men of the national team who will take to the track on the Rettenbach on Sunday, namely Luca De Aliprandini, Giovanni Borsotti, Manfred Moelgg, Daniele Sorio, Roberto Nani, Stefano Baruffaldi and Tommaso Sala. "Our ski area, which has been open for a month, was one of the first ski areas to resume regular activity - says Stefan Huetter, marketing director of the Val Senales Glacier Cable Car - Our safety plan, which includes for example the obligation to wearing the mask during the short cable car ride was certainly a nice change for everyone at first. However we see that it is feasible and that it allows us to guarantee safety on the slopes ”. Despite the presence of numerous training groups from all over the world, there are still no infections in Val Senales and Huetter partly attributes this to the respectful behavior of all participants. "We hope that everything continues to go so well, we are confident and happy to be able to ski, activities that fortunately we can do outdoors surrounded by the fresh air of the glacier".
