From January 27 to February 2, Vars hosted the first two stages of the 2025 Speed Ski World Cup.
No doubt about it, you couldn’t miss the ski rockets on the Chabrières piste with their hyper-specific equipment: aerodynamic latex suits to minimize air resistance, 2m40 long skis, helmet, fins and streamlined poles.
The Italians dominated both stages of this World Cup, with Simone Origone in the men’s race and Valentina Greggio in the women’s race. In the second stage, Valentina Greggio set the fastest time of the competition, even surpassing the men’s performances.
During the World Cup, visually impaired para athlete Andrea Pharo Ronde dared to challenge the slope of the famous Chabrières track, breaking the world record in her category.
