Widely considered as the second most difficult and scariest downhill course in the world, after the Streif at Kitzbühel, many consider it even as the toughest downhills of all. It hosted two World Championships (1985, 2005), and three World Cup finals (1995, 2000, 2008).
Dominik Paris has seven World Cup downhill victories on the Stelvio, a record for a single discipline on one course.
