De Godenz reveals: “In February 2028, Val di Fiemme will host the Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined World Cups in the same weekend”

Val di Fiemme is set for another incredibly intense winter, following the historic first Olympic edition in Predazzo and Lago di Tesero, with World Cup events and various national-level competitions.

Thus, during the Milan presentation of the Trentino organization’s programs for 2026/27, director Dario Puppo interviewed Pietro Godenz, president of Nordic Ski Val di Fiemme, who offered an interesting preview of what we will see in the following season, 2027/28.

The top-level Ski Jumping circuit will also return to Predazzo, joining the Nordic Combined World Cup that we will already see from December 11 to 13 this year: “The Olympics were the icing on the cake for all of us and for the volunteers,” De Godenz recounts, looking back on the great adventure of the Games. “Now we have to move forward, and we have requested the Nordic Combined World Cup, which will return in December, as well as the Ski Jumping World Cup, for which we will have a preview with the Continental Cup the following week.

Then there will be the six Tour de Ski races, with the return of the Sprint between the Skiathlon and the climb to Cermis. For 2027, however, we already have six Ski-Roll World Cup races scheduled, and in 2028, in addition to the TdS, of course—over two or three days, still to be officially confirmed—and the YOG, always in January, the Ski Jumping World Cup will return alongside the Nordic Combined World Cup, in February over a single weekend.”

The head of Nordic Ski added that the collaboration with US Dolomitica, together with which the Italian Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined Championships were organized in Predazzo, has led to the creation of a three-year project for young people, “to bring children and teenagers back to the sport, following the major investment made in the jumps.” In addition, De Godenz confirmed that Val di Fiemme will not be able to organize an “emergency World Championships” if the February event in Falun is called off, due to the ongoing dispute over the Swedes’ unwillingness to welcome the return of the Russians, but it is proud of the very high regard it enjoys in this respect.
