Canalone Miramonti
ski piste in Italy
Canalone Miramonti is a World Cup slalom ski course in Italy, in Madonna di Campiglio, Trentino.
The course was designed by Italian Bruno Detassis in 1940. It is known as a slalom World Cup classic, being one of the oldest, the most demanding and one of the most prestigious slaloms in the world.
The slope has maximum incline at 31 degrees (60%), average incline at 27% and minimum incline at 18%.
History
In 1940, Italian mountaineer and mountain guide Bruno Detassis (known as King of the Brenta), designed and constructed this famous slalom slope, which was altered a few times across the years. It is the final part of a longer slope known as 3-Tre, from the name of a skiing competition (3 gare in Trentino, three races in Trentino South-Tyrol) that was run since 1950 in the region and, from 1957, permanently at Campiglio (with the exception of 1961).
When the Alpine Skiing World Cup was established in 1967 it became a staple of the calendar, hosting several disciplines including downhill, super-G, giant slalom, slalom, and apline combined. Since 1986 slalom was the only discipline hosted, and the upper part of the 3-Tre became unused in international competitions.
Traditionally, the competitions hosted were reserved for men. One-off races for women were held in 1977 (GS), 1984 (GS, SL), and 2003 (two SL).

Why this record matters
The phrase “ski piste in Italy” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1032738. Authority coordinates are 46.231, 10.822. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1940, 1950, 1957 and 1961.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
