This is the first intervention of the World Cup races decided following the information received by the FIS Coordination Group, which met with the Foundation in Cortina in early June to assess the degree of development of the slopes and the arrival area. The Vertigine track, which will develop on Tofana di Mezzo, to the north of the Rifugio Pomedes at 2373 meters, will end by crossing the Olympia of the Tofane, with which it will share the goal at 1568, then with a difference of 805 meters in length Totaling more than 2 and a half miles, with a maximum slope of 62% and an average of 31.6%.
The first part of the work, which will last until the end of October, following a selection from several operators, was entrusted to Ista by Mair Josef & Co. Sas, Prato allo Stelvio (BZ), specialized in this type of infrastructure. The plan foresees in this first phase the realization of the roughness of the track surface for the sole Vertigine, with the exclusion of some existing tract sections for which some grinding works are planned next year, in conjunction with the arrangement of the Olmpia And the realization of all the necessary infrastructures for the World Cups, that is snowing, timing, communication network, protections.
"In July, we completed all the administrative projects related to the slopes projects for the World Championships 2021 and today they begin their work," commented Paolo Nicoletti, Managing Director of the Fondazione Cortina 2021. In the Foundation all worked assiduously and in close synergy with Ista Thank you for the great collaboration and I believe that the suggestions and suggestions made by the FIS have been taken into consideration and that the urgent times required by the International Federation are fully respected. "
"Spectacularness of the event, cost containment and care of the environment - continues Nicoletti - are the criteria that inspire all of our interventions: the Vertigine Track represents an extraordinary example of the harmonious integration of the new infrastructure in the original area.In the coming weeks we will be committed To conclude the Works Plan with the detail of the costs and the prioritization of the World Cup. "
"It was the FIS to ask us a very technical track and in line with the differences required by the international rules of skiing - says Alberto Ghezze, sports manager of the Cortina Foundation 2021 - we can work just under 6 months a year and start out Vertigine to be able to do all possible tests for what will be the descent of the Italian Alpine Ski Championships 2019. "
"I find it very positive that the work is really starting," says FISI President Flavio Roda. "The climate is absolutely collaborative and this significant step will be the first to help make Cortina 2021 an unforgettable event in every respect."
