From January 13 to 23, 2025, the Winter World University Games will take place in five towns across the Piedmont Region: Turin, Pragelato, Bardonecchia, Pinerolo, Torre Pellice, and Sestriere.
Student-athletes will compete in nine different winter sports: alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, curling, freeski, ice hockey, speed skating, snowboarding, figure skating, and biathlon. Additionally, two optional new disciplines will be included: ski orienteering and ski mountaineering.
The upcoming edition of the Winter World University Games will be the first sporting event without any type of barriers. The Universiade will be open for the first time to Paralympic athletes, who will be able to compete in snow sports alongside able-bodied athletes, in an event that celebrates inclusivity and social sustainability.
