The 3Tre is looking to the future with a new light as preparations continue for Wednesday, December 23, when the Canalone Miramonti slope will host the 73rd edition of the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup Night Slalom in Madonna di Campiglio.

The traditional FIS summer inspection, held today, Wednesday, July 8, marks a key milestone each year in the countdown to the event. This year's visit also presented the ideal opportunity to unveil a significant new development which will be ready in time for December's edition of the iconic night slalom.

Alongside the usual technical and organizational meetings, the FIS delegation visiting Madonna di Campiglio – including Men's World Cup Chief Race Director Markus Waldner, Technical Events Race Director Janez Hladnik, and Massimo Rinaldi, who was representing the Italian Winter Sports Federation (FISI) – was presented with the details of the new lighting system for the Canalone Miramonti. This project has been financially supported by all of the member organizations of the 3Tre Committee.

Scheduled for completion during the summer months, in time for the night slalom on December 23 (first run at 5.45 pm, second run at 8.45 pm CET), the relamping project represents a major strategic investment for the event, Madonna di Campiglio, and the entire ski area.

The existing lighting system along the Canalone Miramonti slope is to be completely replaced with 290 high-efficiency ALO3 LED floodlights. These will deliver superior light quality, significantly reduced maintenance requirements, and full compliance with the latest international television broadcasting standards.

The new system is equipped with digitally controlled drivers that can be managed remotely from the technical control room. It has been designed to ensure maximum reliability during major sporting events, enhancing both race conditions and the spectator experience.

The project will also introduce new opportunities for dynamic lighting within the ski stadium by installing 30 LED floodlights with adjustable colour and light intensity. This will enable the creation of customised lighting scenarios for ceremonies and entertainment events.

The Men's World Cup Chief Race Director, Markus Waldner, welcomed the project, praising the 3Tre Committee for their high standards. "The new lighting system will make racing on the Canalone Miramonti even more competitive and spectacular. The new floodlights provide twice the output of the previous installation. This relamping project will ensure more consistent race conditions for all athletes while further enhancing safety standards."

"The positive feedback received from the FIS gives us even greater enthusiasm as we look ahead to the next edition of the 3Tre", said Lorenzo Conci, President of the 3Tre Committee. "The Canalone Miramonti relamping project is highly ambitious and reflects our determination to continue investing in the event while consistently pursuing the highest quality standards."

Representatives of the Municipality of Pinzolo, Funivie Madonna di Campiglio, and the Madonna di Campiglio Tourism Board echoed the 3Tre President's remarks, and reaffirmed their medium and long-term commitment to investing in the event.

Fans will not have to wait much longer to secure the best seats for the spectacle on the Canalone Miramonti. Tickets for the 73rd 3Tre will go on sale on Tuesday, September 1, on the official website, 3trecampiglio.it.
