The Uovo d’Oro is a race on the national Giant Salom calendar, also open to foreign athletes, which has been held on the Olympic slopes of Sestriere since 1981. Five categories take to the track: Super Baby, Baby, Puppies, Boys and Girls, both male and female.
A now traditional end-of-season appointment, the Uovo d’Oro (Golden Egg) is an event that usually takes place during the Easter period, hence the name, organised by the Sporting Club Sestrieres, which brings together most of the Italian competitive ski clubs in a full day of competition and festivities, bringing almost 5,500 people, including athletes and accompanying persons, to Sestriere.
In past editions, more than 1,700 athletes, on average, have competed each year on the famous Sestriere slopes, theatre of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin and numerous World Cup editions.
