The ski pistes of the Tofana Area, the venue of the World event, are being improved: the Olympia and Vertigine are being enlarged and slightly modified in their slope and bends, in order to fully respond to the requirements for the World Championships.

In addition, the snowmaking facilities of the area are going to be upgraded, three tunnels are being dug to enhance access to the slopes, and work is ongoing to prepare the Finish Area at Rumerlo. The improvements will be completed before the 2019 Female Ski World Cup (19th-20th January), so as to offer world class slopes and top skiing to Cortina’s guests for the rest of the season.
Meanwhile, one of Cortina's historic sports facilities has reached an important anniversary: the 50 years of the Tofana-Freccia nel Cielo cable car. On the occasion, the lift managing company presented the project to renew the first stretch of the cable car, from the centre of Cortina to Col Druscié, venue of the Slalom competitions in 2021. The project includes the substitution of the current 70 places cable car with a new lift with 10-seat gondolas, increasing the transport capacity from 700 to 1800 skiers per hour. With a new intermediate stop at Colfiere, the gondolas will also substitute the current chairlift serving the A and B pistes of Col Druscié. Considering the upcoming start of the work for the new road of the Col Druscié and Rumerlo areas, the gondolas will also serve as a convenient and environmentally friendly way to reach the Finish Area of the Ski World Cup and 2021 Ski World Championships.

The base station will be completely renewed, with new spaces and services for skiers and a new après-ski bar in a hedgy design building. The new stations will guarantee more comfort and a better accessibility for clients.
Construction work is due to start in spring 2019.
