Breuil-Cervinia, the famous skiing spot in the Aosta Valley on the Italian side of the Matterhorn, will be the setting of the World Cup, hosting an enthusiastic Snowboard Cross – SBX competition.

For those of you not familiar with this speciality, it is a spectacular race that sees a group of athletes set off together and face a slope that includes parabolic curves, jumps, steps and apparently flat sections with a high risk of riders colliding.

The best riders in the world will challenge one another in both the men’s and women’s competitions.
