The venues of top competitions
In Soldeu-El Tarter we find the mythical Àliga and Avet courses, a compact venue that is already among the most recognized in the world of competitive alpine skiing. It has hosted high-level competitions, such as European Cups, European Cup Finals, World Cups and World Cup Finals.
Discover Avet, the place to be
The Avet course is where the Slalom and Giant Slalom categories take place, and in 2012 it was chosen to host the races for the Women’s Alpine Ski World Cup.
The competition stage takes place in Soldeu, and its classic layout was approved by the International Ski Federation (FIS) in October 2007. For the 2019 Alpine Ski World Cup finals, the finish area was modified with an incredible skiable platform at the bottom of the Avet course and in the town of Soldeu.
Àliga Slope
The Àliga slope is the venue for the speed disciplines, downhill and super-G. Over the years, it has hosted World Cup events in 2016, 2019, and 2023, and will do so again in the upcoming 2026 edition, reaffirming its role as a leading venue for speed events.
The competition stadium is located in the El Tarter sector, and its courses are approved by the International Ski Federation (FIS). In recent years, the circuit has been carefully prepared to ensure maximum safety for skiers while maintaining the spectacular nature of speed events.
The slope is 2.7 kilometers long, 60 meters wide, and has an impressive vertical drop of 751 meters, allowing skiers to reach speeds of over 120 km/h in some sections.
The finish line is located in the village of El Tarter itself, making it easy for fans to reach the finish on foot and experience the excitement of the competition up close.
