Overview
- Austrian Ski Association and the state of Tyrol will finance floodlights at Innsbruck’s Bergisel, completing lighting at all four Tournee venues.
- Tournee president Manfred Schützenhofer says the decision removes the final obstacle to staging a women’s edition in 2026/27.
- FIS race director Sandro Pertile and local committees are pursuing parallel men’s and women’s World Cups at the same venues from 2026/27.
- Detailed integration, scheduling, and operational plans for Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck, and Bischofshofen remain under development.
- Women have competed only in a two-stop ‘2-Nights-Tour’ in Germany to date, with one more edition this winter before the full four-hill launch.
