La VolatA is a women's World Cup downhill ski course in northern Italy, located at Val di Fassa in the Dolomites in northeastern Trentino.
History
Its World Cup debut was ten years ago in late February 2021, however none of the three events (2 DH, 1 SG) were on the original schedule; they were replacements for Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, and Yanqing, China. Lara Gut-Behrami won both downhills.[1][2]
In 2024, competition returned as originally planned, but both women's super-Gs were cancelled due to heavy snowfall and one of the two races was moved to Kvitfjell, Norway.
In early March 2026, the first of two women's downhills at Val di Fassa was a replacement event, this time for a halted race at Crans-Montana in late January.
