Course
The men's World Cup giant slalom was held on the Gran Risa for the first time in 1985, and every year since 1990 (usually in mid-December). From 2006 to 2011, World Cup slaloms also took place on the Gran Risa.
Since 2015, the Gran Risa has also been the venue for World Cup parallel giant slaloms. Women's giant slaloms have only been held twice so far, in 1994 and 2003. The record winner is Marcel Hirscher with six giant slalom victories, with additional wins in slalom and parallel giant slalom.
