The World Championships in Nordic Skiing are back in Val di Fiemme

From the narrow skis of the champions of cross-country skiing to the wide skis of the best flying men and women in the world. The World Championships in Nordic Skiing are back in Val di Fiemme for the third time from February 20 to March 3, 2013. After the unforgettable 1991 and 2003 championships, which showed the world the beauty of the Dolomite valleys of Trentino and launched Val di Fiemme into the Hall of Fame of Nordic Skiing, the stadium at the back of the Tesero Lake and the ski jumps of the Predazzo arena are bursting into the world scene. The explosive force of the "sprinters", the harmonic dance of the "skaters", the strength and technique, the elegance and composure to slip lightly on the snow carpet or in order to tame, even for a few moments, the force of gravity, provide the electrifying and fascinating context in which a programme full of emotions in the cross-country disciplines is developed, the Nordic trick and ski jumping, and will find their natural preamble in the disruptive harmonies of the music of Goran Bregovic.
