The Legendary 3Tre: Men’s Slalom Race
The historic competition of the “White Circus” is once again a permanent fixture on the slopes of the Canalone Miramonti and on the FIS World Cup program.
In January, the lights will shine on the Canalone Miramonti to host, under the floodlights, the 72nd edition of the Men’s Slalom.
HISTORY The Canalone Miramonti is a legend of skiing: designed in 1940 by Bruno Detassis, the “Lord of the Brenta,” mountaineer and director of the first ski school in Madonna di Campiglio.
A technical and demanding course, shaped by decisive changes of gradient, it hosted the first World Cup race in Italy in 1967. On this slope, between World Cup and European Cup races, numerous editions of the 3Tre have been contested — the historic event created in 1948, which became a fixed stop on the FIS World Cup calendar.

THE “FULMINE” JERSEY Everyone dreamed of wearing it. It’s the “Maglia Fulmine” (Lightning Jersey), the symbol of the 3Tre and of a pioneering era of skiing that rewarded the most complete athlete — the best at interpreting the three historic specialties of the “White Circus”: slalom, giant slalom, and downhill.
At the end of the 1950s, the winner of the 3Tre competition was awarded the Maglia Fulmine. Wearing it meant being the best. It was a yellow jersey, decorated with red and blue accents.
Madonna di Campiglio, in collaboration with Falconeri, has reintroduced and relaunched the Maglia Fulmine after more than 60 years. It is a unique garment that represents Italian style and the joy of triumph. An extra motivation for the slalom aces who will battle under the Miramonti lights, writing a new and fascinating chapter in the 3Tre story.
ROLL OF HONOUR Countless athletes have battled on the famous Canalone Miramonti. Through victories and defeats, skiers from many nations have left their mark in Madonna di Campiglio.
