The story

In February 2019, Veysonnaz hosted six World Cup races, in super-G and giant slalom. The programme had been extended after the Kranjska Gora stop in Slovenia was cancelled.
In January 2021, the resort welcomed 81 athletes and staff from 21 countries. They contested two giant slaloms and two slaloms. Swiss skier Theo Gmür, from the Veysonnaz area, was among the competitors.
In March 2025, Veysonnaz hosted the season finals. The giant slalom Crystal Globes were awarded there. France’s Arthur Bauchet and Germany’s Anna-Lena Forster were among the winners.
