History
In 1940, Italian mountaineer and mountain guide Bruno Detassis (known as King of the Brenta), designed and constructed this famous slalom slope, which was altered a few times across the years. It is the final part of a longer slope known as 3-Tre, from the name of a skiing competition (3 gare in Trentino, three races in Trentino South-Tyrol) that was run since 1950 in the region and, from 1957, permanently at Campiglio (with the exception of 1961).
When the Alpine Skiing World Cup was established in 1967 it became a staple of the calendar, hosting several disciplines including downhill, super-G, giant slalom, slalom, and apline combined. Since 1986 slalom was the only discipline hosted, and the upper part of the 3-Tre became unused in international competitions.
Traditionally, the competitions hosted were reserved for men. One-off races for women were held in 1977 (GS), 1984 (GS, SL), and 2003 (two SL).
Swedish skier Ingemar Stenmark holds the record for slalom wins at the venue, with 5 victories.
