Italy's best ski jumpers and Nordic combined athletes will be competing, including Annika Sieff, Alex Insam, Giovanni Bresadola, Alessandro Pittin, and many more. The stadium is named after Giuseppe Dal Ben, a pioneer of Nordic skiing in Trentino.

The facility has undergone a major renovation: The two ski jumps, HS143 (Large Hill) and HS109 (Normal Hill), have been reprofiled and equipped with cooled inrun chutes, a new landing zone, a modern snowmaking system, and a judges' tower. A new inclined elevator will now comfortably transport athletes to the takeoff platform—later also accessible to tourists.

After the ceremonial opening with political and sporting representatives (including President Maurizio Fugatti, FISI and the Milan Cortina 2026 Federation), the first international competitions will take place in the autumn: the FIS Nordic Summer Festival from September 18 to 21, the Italian Championships in December – and the Winter Olympics in February 2026.
