With one of the most spectacular race of the year and infectious rock music, the Alpine Rockfest 2013 will fascinate audience and athletes on December 23rd, 2013. In front of thousands of spectators, 20 Olympic alpine skiing champions will compete on a sprint Giant Slalom course with a massive jump. At Paganella ski resort near Andalo, Trentino (Italy), the winner will be rewarded with an early Christmas present: a record 75,000 euros prize-money, the highest single prize-money in the history of skiing.  

At the fourth edition of this unique pre-Christmas event, the world elite of the international skiing will fight for glory and "trophy full of prizemoney".
