If the great skiing of Les 3 Vallees<\/a> wasn’t enough of a reason to head to Courchevel this winter, then one event to check out is the FIS World Cup Giant Slalom<\/a> on 20 December 2015.<\/p>\n

This pre-Christmas break will see the world\u2019s\u00a0best skiers compete in the unique\u00a0atmosphere of the Emile-Allais stadium,\u00a0at the heart of Courchevel 1850<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A classic in the calendar<\/strong><\/p>\n

This will be fourth time that Courchevel has hosted this GS event, which has become a\u00a0classic in the world skiing calendar.<\/p>\n

Around 15000 spectators are expected, and 600 people will work to make sure the event is another success.<\/p>\n

The best female skiers in the world<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spectators can expect to see the Austrian Anna Fenninger take on the American Lindsey Vonn – holder of a record 63 World Cup victories. Other contenders include Lara Gut, Tessa Worley and Courchevel locals\u00a0Anne-Sophie\u00a0Barthet and Ta\u00efna Barioz.<\/p>\n

The winner will not only get her hands on the title, but also this unique ski helmet – shown below – designed by contemporary artist David Cintract.<\/p>\n

It’s certainly pretty bling – you’d have to be a good skier to even think about wearing it!<\/p>\n
