The Mexican Cup in Toblach has long become a well-established tradition in the region’s winter sports calendar. For many years, international skiers have gathered at the Rienz ski lift in the 3 Zinnen Racing Arena to compete in the Mexican Ski Championships right in the heart of the Dolomites. The combination of thrilling competition, an international atmosphere, and lively celebrations makes this event a true highlight of the winter season every year. In 2026, the Mexican Cup once again brought exciting races and a fantastic atmosphere from February 27 to March 1. Athletes from numerous nations took to the perfectly prepared race slopes in Toblach, while spectators enjoyed a weekend full of ski action, music, and great vibes.
A special highlight was the performance of Hubertus von Hohenlohe, the charismatic Prince of Mexico. The former Olympic alpine skier, photographer, and musician delighted the audience not only as a sporting personality but also on stage. After the races, he created a lively atmosphere with a concert, turning the award ceremony at the Rienz ski lift into a true Mexican-Alpine party. The Mexican Cup once again demonstrates how international winter sports in the Dolomites truly are – and how Toblach uniquely combines sporting tradition, culture, and a vibrant joy of life.
With the Five Rings Evening, Toblach and the Euregio Gustav Mahler Cultural Centre became a place of international dialogue. Music, art and Olympic values came together in an evening that built a cultural bridge from Beijing 2022 to Milan–Cortina 2026. Symphonic film music, lyrical voices and an intercultural art exhibition vividly demonstrated how the Olympic spirit reaches far beyond sport – acting as a unifying force between people and cultures. Under the direction of Maresciallo Maestro Massimiliano Picca, the Fanfara of the 1st Air Region Command of the Italian Air Force captivated the audience. The evening was further enhanced by the Chinese soprano Fan Zhou and tenor Wang Sanlin, who added a special brilliance with selected arias.
The accompanying art exhibition was then opened, featuring sculptures by South Tyrolean artist Friedrich Sebastian Feichter and portrait works by Chinese artist and researcher Tong Yanrunan. This was followed by a reception in the Hall of Mirrors with an international buffet and a presentation by Nicola Paulon, highlighting the strengths of the winter sports regions 3 Zinnen Dolomites and Kronplatz as training destinations for international professional athletes. The evening concluded with a tribute to former Olympic athletes from Toblach: Monika Schwingshackl, the sisters Nathalie and Saskia Santer, and Simone Fontana. A distinguished guest who could not be missing was Hubertus von Hohenlohe.
