Memorial Scoiattoli Trophy

When night falls over the Dolomites and the silence of the mountains deepens, small lights begin to appear in the snow, rising towards the sky. They are the headlamps of the athletes of the Scoiattoli Memorial Trophy, starring in one of the most enchanting ski mountaineering competitions in the Alpine arc.

Organized by the legendary Scoiattoli Group Cortina, a symbol of the mountaineering tradition of Cortina d'Ampezzo, this night competition transforms the mountain into a stage of emotions, passion, and teamwork.

The course comes to life at the foot of the spectacular Five Towers, in the Bai de Dònes area. From here, the athletes begin their ascent into the night, skis on their feet and skins attached, following a route that winds through snow-covered woods and high-altitude silences.

The effort of the climb is accompanied by a unique panorama: the rock towers silhouetted against the dark, the starry sky above the Dolomites, and the constant rhythm of skis on the snow.

The finish line is at the Scoiattoli Refuge, at over 2200 meters above sea level: a natural terrace overlooking one of the most iconic views of the Dolomites. Here, competition gives way to sharing. After the race, athletes and participants gather for the award ceremony and the traditional spaghetti meal, celebrating together the authentic spirit of the mountain.

The Scoiattoli Memorial Trophy is not just a race: it is an experience.

A night of sport, friendship, and passion, where every step in the snow tells the excitement of experiencing the mountain in its purest form.
