Stelvio is a World Cup downhill piste in northern Italy, considered[according to whom?] as second hardest in the world. Located on Vallecetta mountain in Bormio, it debuted at the World Championships in 1985.[1][2]
Widely considered[by whom?] as the second most difficult and scariest[clarification needed] downhill course in the world, after the Streif at Kitzbühel, many[who?] consider it even as the toughest downhills of all.[citation needed] It hosted two World Championships (1985, 2005), and three World Cup finals (1995, 2000, 2008).
Dominik Paris has seven World Cup downhill victories on the Stelvio, a record for a single discipline on one course.
