This stage of the FIS Men's Alpine Skiing World Cup sees competitors tackle giant slalom competitions in Sölden, Austria. The Alpine Skiing World Cup is the most glamorous event in skiing, with all the best skiers competing.

The competitors travel the world to premier ski resorts, gathering points as they go. There are separate awards for the individual disciplines, but the Holy Grail is the title of Alpine Skiing World Cup Overall Champion.

The tournament is divided into the Ladies' and Men's events, often held in different locations. The individual disciplines are downhill, slalom, giant slalom, super G and combined, ensuring that every attribute of modern skiing technique is thoroughly tested. To win the combined title, therefore, is the mark of a truly accomplished skier.
